“We traded in one problem for another!” You’ve finally found a medication that manages your child’s ADHD symptoms… but now he can’t stop twitching.
stop after the medication is discontinued, so in many instances, these tics go away after the child stops taking their ADHD medication.
Motor tics often start between the ages of five and nine. When tic behaviors begin, it may be difficult to know that they are tics. Often, the diagnosis cannot be established until you and your doctor review the complete clinical picture. Stress can increase the frequency and intensity of tics. They are not present during sleep and may be less apparent during activity. Tic disorders often run in families.
Tics most commonly appear in the face and head, as grimacing, puckering of forehead, raising eyebrows, blinking eyelids, winking, wrinkling nose, trembling nostrils, twitching mouth, twisting neck, looking sideways, or head rolling. Other tics affect the arms and hands, resulting in jerking hands, arms, and finger movements, or clenching fists.Physicians classify tics by the length of time they last.
Treatment is often considered necessary only if the frequency and intensity of the tics result in aching or tired muscles, your child is teased about them, or the tics last longer than a year. There are no medications that will cure a tic disorder, but some will suppress it. The most frequently used are clonidine , haloperidol ,Haldol is usually the first medication to be tried.
