[QUOTE="loveyouforever, post: 605896, member: 16828"] About the profile...I notice that many people's profiles show up at the bottom of the postings...it is helpful to see a little about thier specfic life when reading them. Any advice on how I get mine to show up? J currently takes: Strattera 40mg for ADHD, Prozac 30mg for Anxiety, Risperdal 0.5mg for Mood Disorder and 3mg of Melatonin to help him fall asleep at night. As far as Js DXES...We, like many people on this site, have seen 8 different doctors over the past 6 years trying to figure out what exactly is going on. So...first came the Trich, diagnosis by me, well and the pediatrician (pretty hard to miss that one).
