Hello i had a question about SSI benefits. I am an adult who has had ADHD and ODD since I was a young child and I take medication for it. I have tried just about every medication there is for ADHD and ODD and currently am on Adderall(amphetamine salts) and Guanfacine(Tenex) and these have worked the best for me. But the problem is they are not consistent in their effects the effect varies from day to day and this creates an enormous obsticale. With these drugs not working in the same way on a consistant level it makes it difficult to keep a job and now with the economy the way it is I cant even get one to try to keep. Me and my wife just had a child which provided some severe medical problems for my wife which was preclamsya(not sure if thats how its spelled) hich happened after she gave birth and caused her blood pressure to spike up to 250/140 or somewhere around there and she ran out her FMLA at her work and was let go and is still not able to work. With this situation now putting my family in a financial disaster is there any way I could qualify for SSI? I have all the documentations of my ADHD and ODD from therapists and doctors since I was around 5 years old.
