I agree with you that ADHD medications can cause tics, etc. I take Adderall currently (XR 20 mg) and it causes vocal tics for me. I've decided that the benefits I receive from the medication outweigh significantly the detriments - so I keep taking them...
I agree we need to be careful with what medications we take and that the medications aren't always as safe as they say. I just encourage everyone to consider whether the potential dangers of the drug outweigh the potential positive effects. For me, I'd rather lose three years of my life at the end and be able to live better now, than to struggle now and struggle for those three years at the end...It comes down to math for me. I understand if the math doesn't add up in your situation.
