My daughter has been taking Ritalin for just over a year now, and has developed a tic, involuntary blinking. We had this problem a year and a half after she took Dexadrine for ADD. At which time her docter switched her over to Ritalin but now it is happening again. She is off the medication now until I get in touch with the docter. But I am just wondering if any of you have had this problem or have any advice. She can not get through school without the medication she just can't stay focused enough to concentrate on what is going on. The difference in her school work was immediate when we put her on medication. She was not diagnoised until she was 9 she is now 11. I am getting concerned about all the medication and needing to change it so often. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also interested if any of you or your children developed these tics
