18 year old daughter, stubborn and learning delayed

Hello. I have an 18 year old daughter who is very stubborn. If a family member says anything, daughter says 'No.' and then she corrects whomever is speaking. She had had learning delays since infancy and is about 4 years behind intellectually. She has an IQ of 81. She is farther behind socially. She has been diagnosed with ADHD but is generally unmotovated. We have to tell her to get up in the morning and to get dressed, etc. She does no simple chores without repeated reminding. She is 95# and 5'9 tall. Her dispostion is negative and she is unwilling to try new things. She lies instead of telling the truth. She seems to have a defeated attitude but at the same time has illusions of grandeur and magical thinking.

When she was 5 years old, she was given baryta carbinica in a single dose. She screamed for three days and then was much more mature.

Will you help me to know what to use with her? Please also tell me dosage. I'm at whits end as a parent and am uncertain about her future.
