Absolutely: Especially the antipsychotics, they cause some movements/ tics called tardive dyskinesias...... Theoretically the antidepressants or the stimulants could, but I have never seen or read about it occuring. Also, some older anti nausea meds like phenergan, (promethazine) if taken long enough could cause effects similar to the antipsychotics, to which they are structurally related.

Yes: Many older antipsychotic medications like thorazine, mellaril, stelazine, Haldol (haloperidol) for sure -- and some of the newer ones also. Some of the ssri antidepressants which enhance serotonin simultaneously suppress Dopamine in the involuntary motor system. This can result in "tics" in some people, as well as other kinds of movement disorders. Some go away when stopping the drug. Some are permanent.

Tics: Also, stimulants used to treat attention deficit disorders and narcolepsy.

Yes: A variety of medications have been associated with the development or worsening of a tic. It is unclear whether these medications are unmasking the condition, which may have occurred later in time, or whether these medications are the isolated cause of the tic.
