You could try Bach flower remedies... I know rescue remedy is fantastic - we use it for everything... Anxiety, teething, hyperactivity, restlessness - the list goes on...
I'm not sure if they're still available or not but when my son was around that age (10 yrs ago) I tried him on these natural chewable tablets called "Calm Kids" they were basically made from dried Apricots. They worked like magic and then didn't need all the medications the doctors were pushing (tried to say he was addhd??) they took about a week to take action but he was like a completely different child once they 'kicked in'.
We use chamomilla which is provided in liquid form by a Herbalist. It is a homeopathic remedy for restlessness.
I have given it to DS when he has been crazy upset and it has stopped him in his tracks and then other times it is not quite so profound. Given that it works most of the time I would recommend it.
