Tripolene For My 9 Year Old Son
Updated
Vanessa Says:
My son is 9 years old and is on Concerta 27mg for concerntration but is still battling with his emotions and is very anxious. The Doctor has recommended 10 mg of Tripolene at 6pm in evening, does this sound suitable for his age and condition, I was giving him Melatonin to help him sleep as the Concerta was keeping him awake, should the Tripolene help with sleep as well as the Melatonin has become a schedule 4 drug and I would like to stop giving it to him

I highly recommend guanfacine or clonidine. They're commonly prescribed with stimulants for ADHD.
In my experience, they relieve stimulant-induced sleeplessness and have a mild anti-anxiety effect.
Guanfacine is probably preferable for ADHD, but they're both pretty similar.
Once-daily formulations are available, but they're pretty expensive (at least at my pharmacy). Generic clonidine & guanfacine are very cheap, but they require 2-3 doses per day.
However, if Concerta lasts into the night, the dose could be a little high.
