Wanda,

I thought you may find this post from Dr. Bob's Tips section interesting.

Subject: Stimulants and tics

There is an emerging literature to suggest that while stimulants can indeed
exacerbate tics, this may be transient and the tics may return to a baseline level
within in a relatively short period of time. Several recent publications (Gadow
et al., Riddle, and colleagues) have been examining this issue in children with
Tourette syndrome and ADHD. Again, the data appear promising.

In our Tourette clinic we have seen methylphenidate bring out tics in a
youngster with a strong family history of TS, raising the suspicion that these
youngsters likely also had inherited the genes.
