Hello, Worried! How is your daughter doing?
This is a stimulant drug, so loss of appetite can be a normal side effect that some people experience, when taking it. The headaches are also a common side effect, along with the nausea. She may also experience dizziness, nervousness and insomnia.
How long has she been taking it? Most of the typical side effects will wear off, after about 4 to 6 weeks, once her body gets used to the medication. However, if they don't, or if they worsen, she may need to be switched to a different medication, as this might not be the right one for her to take.
This medication also carries the risk of being habit forming.
