Could Jerking Head And Facial Movements Done In Rythm Due To Taking Of Strattera And Intuniv For ADHD?
my son takes strattera 40 mg and intuniv 1 mg daily for ADHD. lately I have noticed him jerking his head in a rhythm followed by facial movements (unnatural - like smiling wide to one side) like a rhymitic Tic or twitch. He never had this before the medication but he has been taking this meds for about 6 months now. Could the meds cause this or is this something new to worry about? He is 9 years old. I m not paying you anything!!!!
