I've been taking ritalin (methylphenidate) la for 5 years now, and a few months ago i started to have trouble to control my facial expression when i'm on med. why?

Facial spasms?: Not sure there is correlation, but might think of effect of other substances, as u listed "drug addiction". Please consult your pcp for workup.
