In reply to HELP! TRD...Ritalin and Involuntary mouth tics?, posted by francineus on August 24, 2008, at 18:20:26
Hi, Francineus. Sorry about the mouth tics. I got something rather like that on cylert. My pdoc said, correctly, that it would resolve after I got off the cylert-- but it was important to get off. It can take less or more time to resolve, too. So you really need to talk to your pdoc ; if it's caused by the ritalin, probably it's wise to get off it.
But as med_empowered said, there's a good chance you can use an amphetamine like adderall. I haven't had any problems on ritalin or adderall, despite having them on cylert. So the reaction doesn't necessarily apply to all stims.
Good luck. Hope your jaw grinding subsides.
