Med to boost appetite?

My 7 yr old is on Concerta for ADHD and hasn't gained a pound in a year.  My psych suggested a prescription to increase her appetite.  Any experiences with a drug like that?  Thank you!

    She takes the Concerta every day.  There is no way we can go without, unfortunately.  :(  The drug they want to add is an antipsychotic.  I'm not sure of the name.  He said we could do it for 6-8 weeks and that should add 8-10 lbs which would put her in a lot healthier weight range.
