ADHD med increase(Focalin) and eye tics

My oldest son is 7 and has ADHD.  He has been taking Focalin 10mg for 1 yr and we went up to 15 mg a few days ago.  Today and yesterday we have noticed a lot of eye blinking/tic like behavior.  I will call his Dr in the morning, but does that mean the dose is too high?  Or his body needs to adjust to it and the tics will go away?  He doesn't even realize he is doing it and I'd hate for kids to make fun of him at school but he also really needs his medication.  And I cannot remember exactly, but I do think he had a little eye blinking when he first started the med originally, but don't remember for sure that he had it or how long it lasted.

  • He's never had tics before.  It seems they have gone avvay so maybe it vvas just his body getting used to the increase.  It surely did vvorry me!
