ADHD with anxiety

What is the medication most often prescribed for ADHD and anxiety in a ten year old 75lb. girl?
I've tried ritalin which has just made her depressed.  We then switched to Dexadrine which seemed to work well twice a day but when we switched to a time released capsule, there seemed to be an inconsistent release of the medicine into her system.  We upped the dosage to 35mg. per day and she went through a paranoid pschotic state with possible hallucinations at night.  Should we have lowered the dosage instead of upping it?  Thank you.
