Ok, here is the thing.
I am going to see my psychiatrist again because i am having EXTREME difficulty concentrating in class. My mom always goes with me, i had to sign a weaver for her to see the doctor with me, or she would not let me have medical help.
OK, what happened was she, for a while i abused Dexedrine, but after these couple of months, well its been 6 months, half a year off it. Im fine, but there was many benefical effects, i took good notes, i could talk in a discussion that was very indepth, which we do ALOT in sociology, i mean i cant, its so hard. I was on 40mg and then i was taken off, by my mother, who kept the medicine, cold turkey. She said that she was addicted to diet pills in the 70's and did not want me to become addicted to them, which she already accused me of being addicted. I was not, for a while i admit i did take more than the doctor prescribed, but he already knows that. 2nd of all, she will argue in the session say absolutely not, about going back. I can not reason with her, i cant tell her that i have talked to a therpist who can help me. But no she is so stuborn, it's time that i really go for it myself.
I am going to see the doctor by myself, going to tell him the situation, but if i am prescribed the medication and she finds out about it, she will blow up, she will say he was addicted to this! and say that when i went to an outpatient hospital about this medication, i was having a tough time on it, they recommneed with a note that i do not take this medication.
I already talked to my therpist and he said that doesnt matter if you personally tell the doctor what happened, why? and your side of the story.
What can i do while, she will not know im taking this medication, but it, im not saying it, it helps very much with concentration, keeping up, when im off it, i have to drink energy drinks to compsate somewhat for concentration.
What do i do when she finds out, if she tell my psychitrist that i was addicted to this that i can never go back on it?

also im at school right now, she does not want me posting to psychobabble. I feel like im betraying her but i cant live with this without asking help from someone. Im not putting her down, im just saying what her behavior is like.
