Prescription Running Out Before He Finishes Antibiotic

The liqued antibiotic my6yo son got for his severe ear infection is almost gone and he is supposed to have 5 more doses. I think we have enough for 3 doses but that's about it. I try to be really careful about dosing but i will say I could be off by a milliltereach time just because of trying to fill the little dosing dooo hickys, but still that shouldn't amount to a full missesd dose let alone 2.

Needing Pros & Cons on "Adderall"

We have been having long term "focus" issues with my now 11 year old son and have exhausted all other avenues to try and help him. Last year he was tested for ADHD and it came back negative, however, this school year the daydreaming and lack of focus during school has increased. We have adjusted his diet from less processed sugars and have focused on higher protein and although it has generally improved his health it really hasn't done much for the attention issues.

Prescription Anti-aging Creams Worth The $$?

Hello moms - a lot of women I know swear by Retin A (or it's generic form for less $). I would love to minimize the aging process in this not too invasive way. I asked my old school (male) dermatologist and he poo-pooed the idea - "Too expensive! Too irritating!" He recommended over the counter options (like Neutrogena, etc.).
