A member asked:
I was diagnosed with adhd when i was younger, and now ive developed some sort of tics? like jerking my neck or slamming my leg, rubbing my nose really hard or whining. what is it? is it caused by adhd? am i to old to develop them? im currently 17 .

Some basics: Tics can be transient or chronic. Some cite a prior infection with a virus or other agent in the preceding weeks leading up to the process. When they fade within 6 mo they are considered transient, over 6 mo, chronic. There is some where a familial component is seen. ADHD meds were thought to let them emerge early but that would have been evident long ago.Your doc can help sort this out.
