Generally ADD meds are not used for lack of motivation, and anxiety. What I'm getting at is this. Your son may have a combination of ADD symptoms and depressive symptoms. In this case he may do better on certain antidepressants (that also have efficacy in depression/anxiety) Many times ADD meds are used with some sucess in what itinially appears to be ADD, but may infact be underlying depression. Ie. is it the anxiety that is keeping him from concentrating ?.
Best of Luck
