What Causes Hyperactivity In A Child After Taking Clondine For ADHD?

My 6 year old son is taking Clondine for his ADHD he was taking half 1mg pill at bedtime since Nov 7. for the last 2 weeks he has been very disobediant, hyper more than usual and can not focus. He had been doing much better up until like i said 2 weeks ago. I talked with his dr. and he is now taking the complete 1 mg. would like to know if these systoms he is having will go away or should i consider switching meds once again?

Hello,
The hyperactivity of your child in the past two weeks may be because the dosenof Clondine is insilufficient. The increasing of the medicine dosage will improve hyperactivity and will affect you child the same way as before the past two weeks.
