Hi, not sure if anyone can help me.
My 7 year old daughter has just been put on medication for ADHD. She seemed to get some strange ticks after 9-10 hours of taking the tablet. Has anyone else experienced this? And does it last forever? Thanks

Hi Micki. I'm not an expert on meds by any means but I believe tics can be one of the side effects. Also, ADHD and tics are commonly comorbid and the meds can sometimes bring out an underlying tic that was not evident without the meds.
No idea if the side effect diminishes after a while or not.
It's worth talking to your daughter's pediatrician. Some meds have less side effects than others.
Do let us know what happens. x

I would've said everything kathymel just said - I would definitely talk to her paediatrician
