Low blood pressure with intuniv, what did you switch to

My 10 yo has been on sertraline and 2mg of intuniv. He went from 1mg to 2mg in August and he was very sluggish and his BP was too low so we had to return to 1mg. His symptoms (focus, and impulse control) were well controlled on 2mg. On 1mg his symptoms of impulse control are not well controlled. He's having a harder time sitting still and making disrespectful and mean comments. He doesn't tolerate stimulants-he gets super angry and almost paranoid. Has anyone had to switch from intuniv and what did you try?

Appreciate your help and advice.
