"i took this medicine for add when i was eleven. i&#039;d had some slight muscle tics before that and the doctor warned me and my parents that adderall could make those worse, but at the time i wasn&#039;t too worried about it. that was a mistake. the tics got far worse, to the point that once i passed out because it made it difficult for me to breath. one doctor said it was ocd, and another said it might be tourette&#039;s, and another thought it was the medicine.  all i know is i&#039;ve stopped taking it and they&#039;ve mostly gone away, though they still come back every once in a while when i&#039;m tired. i&#039;m not sure if adderall would have helped my &quot;add&quot;; i didn&#039;t take it long enough. i&#039;ve since managed to get it together and improve my grades without any medication."
