    Any weight gain supplements besides Ensure?

    My son has been losing weight since on Adderall XR, so I've been giving him Ensure. Does anyone know of a better product? The ingredients in Ensure are ****. Thanks for any replies.

    "It feels like someone is yelling at me in my head."

    Miss KT just called. She says the yelling used to happen all the time when she was little, but then it went away. She says it makes her feel like she's in trouble, so I asked if if she'd done anything she wasn't happy about, thinking maybe it was a conscience-type thing. No, just lots of...
