Well, from where I am I can't change any medication because I can't get in to see the doctor and I am so sick of being locked up and not even letting myself call to see the doctor. I've tried it, my mother has some kind of guardianship over me and its sick and screwed as it can be. She cancels the appointments and then yells at me and takes the keys from car away. This is the sitiation im living in people. There's not much I can do expect sign myself into a ward. Don't get mad reading this. I've lived with this for years and im used to it. This is just the result of not doing anything. Misery..
The only solution to this is finding a job through DARS and getting employment and then getting the hell out of here. But I just don't know how I am going to get out of all this control sh*t that I have been living many years. I am not trying to call any kind of help because most of the help that try to get it doesnt help. Failed antidepressants. Yup my body just had to make my life a living hell by resisting all treatments that are not stimulants. Every alternative my body rejects or builds some kind of tolerance to medication to where it has no effect. I want to just scream in pillow. All the alternatives have failed. I am so mad with body for not cooperating with the alternatives that are left to treat the ADD. I just wished I could punch something that is responsible for all this.

Could you maybe use this time to taper your ineffective med(s) and start from scratch?

Matt - Just so you know.. in Texas, there is no way she can get 'guardianship' over you without going through the probate court. She would have to hire a lawyer, who would likely first interview you to see if the case had a chance of being successful. Then that lawyer would have to notify all of your first degree relatives (father, siblings). Then you Then the court would provide a lawyer to represent YOU.. and that lawyer would come out to interview you, and others who have had close contact with you. If you didn't think you needed guardianship - then you would tell the lawyer, who would be obligated to take your side and argue your case. Then there would be a hearing in front of the judge, who would expect the lawyer representing your mother to present a good case for why you are not competent enough to take care of your self.
Getting guardianship is a big deal - and it wouldn't happen without your knowing about it.
And further.. your mother cannot stop you from seeing a doctor. You should call a local social service agency - or talk to your counselor at DARS - for help. They will help you figure out how to do that. I don't think you're going to be able to get stimulants out of it - but if you need to see a doctor to adjust your meds, or change your meds, etc. - your mother cannot stop you, however well-intentioned she may be.

????
I certainly hope not.
Don't know how it would be without full names, which if you or anyone has for Matt or his family I'd hope you would never write here....if you privately search it on Google, that is, of course, your free right and business.
