Tips on getting more calories? (Medication issue)

I have (what has been described as "an absolute whopper of a case") ADHD that doesn't respond very well to medication. After 3 years, we finally landed on a cocktail that probably about 25% works…

Exercise challenges?

My outside mile time drops to around 11.5min/mile as a…
