Karen,
I don't go around recommending medication much because every one's chemistry is different and I dont like to give false hope. Having said that I think that you should consider giving your son a trial of dilantin. A small dose 100mgs (one pill) at bedtime or breakfast whichever works for him is a standard dose for symptoms you describe. Your post struck me because your son's symptoms seem remarkably similar to mine and I have responded wonderfully to dilantin. Dilantin helps to quiet the mind and if your son responded to it his concentration and anxiety would improve a lot as well.
I have taken Hydergine and Vinpocetine two cognitive enhancers for almost my entire college career and while they help without the dilantin the excessive worry and distraction would be too much. If you are interested and have any questions let me know if not I wish you the best luck in helping your son and he is truly a lucky son to have such a loving mother.
