It's nice to see someone who's willing to try something other than stimulants. Just as a side note, a lot of stimulants cause insomnia as well. I don't know if you've thought about immediate release or shorter acting meds, but they may help you avoid the insomnia associated with the stimulants. Good luck. I really hope you find something that works for you. It seems like you have a great team, and you're willing to work with them to find the right med combo.
