Hello, If your daughter was taking Clonidine and was responding well; and as you describe her hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention is troublesome without medication now. I suggest her medications to be restarted and seek a formal psychiatric opinion soon possible. Hope it is helpful, feel free to direct any more queries. Regards.
