Dr. Alan Ali answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Hyperactive: Depends on what medications he is on for adhd, possibility of after-effects of medication with poor sleep. Discuss with his physician possibility of adjunctive medication for sleep, such as Clonidine or remeron, (mirtazapine) depending on his age.
