Person xxx I know runs into problems when they miss meds. Cold medicine and other over the counter items sometimes mix with conflicting results. Weight gain or loss will also have effect on prescription and treatment. Sometimes weight gain will be a side effect of prescriptions. Try to keep son and yourself physically active, it helps the persons I know.

God bless brother, it's a difficult path you're on.
