"to make this short, my son was diagnosed with severe adhd at the age of 5. i&#039;ve tried every single medication known to man. at the moment he takes 60 mg of focalin in the morning with an antidpressant and a mood stabilizer. he takes the mood stabilizer before bed also. after school, i give him 5mg of ritalin. before bed he takes his other stabilizer and 3-0.3mg of clonidine to force him to sleep. he has major anger issues. i tried intuniv about a year ago starting at 1 mg. he seemed to be a little better mood-wise, however his focalin would wear off at 2:00pm instead of 5:00pm. we bumped him up to 2mg he would take it with his clonidine and he would sleep, but not very well, falling asleep or staying asleep."
