Any correlation between meds and growth?

My son is currently on Prozac and Focalin, doing well, and has been

been on a combo of other SSRI and ADHD meds for over 4 years. He has

always been in the 50-75th percentiles in height his whole life until

about 3 years ago when he started growing only an inch per year. At

almost 15 years old, he is only 5'1 " and in the 10th percentile for

his age. We are a short to average height family, and I wouldn't be

concerned if there wasn't a slippage a few years ago from his

consistant growth path. Anyone out there have any knowlege of stunted

growth due to meds? We are seeing a pediatric endocrinologist

tomorrow per the recommendation of his pediatrician who has been

following him closely for the past year. I just wanted to pick your

brains before the appointment.

Thanks in advance!
