Avishai, I just remembered, a picture of my GT is my avatar on philosophyforms.com. I was barred there soon after joining with no warning, they may have deleted all my posts as well, I doubt it though. you may have to dig in the archives though in the dicussion forums. Social Sciences, religon, and philosophy were the topics I post most in. Don't tell them you know me though, The administrators there won't even answer my email requests for mercy, or a reason I can understand. Beware.
This could my last post for a little while.........

Generally you cannot be involuntarily committed simply because someone says you need to be. You'd have to be examined by mental health professionals. That was probably an empty threat.
A doctor cannot hand over patient names and addresses without the parents' permission. If you don't trust this guy, isn't there another specialist you could see?

David, you have a PM. I have this and so does my son. If you need someone to talk to with first-hand experience let me know anytime! I'm willing to help in any way.

By the way does anyone what 100 mg of Seroquel is?
I am not sure of the dosage, but Seroquel is one powerful med! I have a JW friend (my reason for visiting this board) that had a seizure last year (2004) and was hospitalized. She was very psychotic, hallucinating, talking to non-existent people, talking on the phone (that wasn't there...) and such. It was freaky and really scary. She has Multiple Sclerosis and no one at the hospital ever said whether this was a symptom of her MS or what but all the tests (MRI, EEG, EKG, CAT scan, etc.) showed nothing!
They prescribed Seroquel. It reduced her hallucinatiuons and psychotic episodes quite a bit. I (we) thought she was OK. She was very sleepy from the med and her left arm kept jumping but she was 100% better than 2 days eariler. They sent her home.
At home she was subdued and more-or-less lucid. She was still sleeping a lot. I watched her sleep for 45 minutes one evening without realizing she had just "dropped off" with company in the room. But the arm / shoulder jerking was a matter of concern. It would jump -- not painful or anything -- just jerky for a couple of minutes at a time. She couldn't control it.
About 4 days after returning from the hospital, the left arm started jerking but this time it didn't stop after a long while. 45 minutes into this event her father called 911 and had her -- still jerking uncontollably -- taken back to the hospital. They gave her an injection of Ativan for the jerking and stopped the Seroquel.
She hasn't jerked since but her left arm has never moved on its own again, either. She has a useless left arm, but what caused it? The Seroquel (my guess) or the Ativan? In any case I don't think I'd ever allow myself to be prescribed Seroquel. It is just too pwerful an anti-psychotic medication.
Good Luck,
Robert

Sounds like there is more to this story than ADHD. They don't prescribe anti-psychotic drugs for that.

I can prove they in fact he did. want the doctor's name and phone number? Or is he "protected" too? Further, the really sad part is when Quintin is being good, the pills get all the credit!!!! stealing all my thunder from me!! That REALLY burns my ass!!!
Does the pill get the blame when he is bad as well?????

David you should relax and consider the possibilty that the people around you are right. They are concerned about your erratic behavior and want the best for you. From the few exchanges we have had here I share their concern. All the best. Trust someone.
