Does ADHD cause people to have tics or spasms?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Certain medication combination can exacerbate these motions. And certain medications can of course cause it.
Both are definitive brain disorders with differential diagnoses one can see if each is co dependant. That is if one is present is the other.
For years drugs used for ADHD and attention disorders were mono therapies. But as more comes out, secondary complications such as movements, vocalizations, staring might be indicative of something more or a build up level causing complications. Like too much Tegretol which is used to control seizures in epileptics, too much can actually cause seizures.
No drug has ever been studied in depth to show tic causation.
However a combination of Methelylphenidate and Clonidine have been used to control both ADHD and tics.

M$As you might know, there is ongoing research into this disorder and studies have shown that tics do occur. The more agitated the child is, the worse the tics are. I know it is hard to settle down a child when they are excited or angry but you will find once they are calmed down the tics are not so rampant.
