This sounds like my son. He was very aggressive and so forth. The best thing that we were able to find for him is Risperdone. It doesn't make him zone out or anything just helps him with his rage and aggression. If some of the other medications are not working, it might be worth a shot.
Good Luck
If this is the best the boys present doctor can do, you may need a new doctor! Aggressiveness and violence are symptoms of a greater problem, not just ADHD or ADD. Adderal may be a drug to consider but so is clonazepam. There are lots of drugs out there. If your present MD is short on alternatives, a new MD might be in order-one specializing in adolescent psychiatry may be helpful.
My oldest had ADHD, and we had tried everything! Some made him reclusive and some made him aggatated. The one we had found for him was the extended release aderol. His grades improved, his attitude at home improved, but the only thing was with him was that they had to eventually give him one med to sleep, and another to increase his appetite. He eventually out grew his ADHD, but I got fed up with having to be on another 2 meds for the one he was taking. Not sure if you sons have tried aderol, but if not, it sounds like it may be worth a try. Good luck in finding the right one that works for the boys! :-)
