Five to twenty four percent of all school age children have had tics. The child may have facial tics or tics involving movement of the arms, legs, or other areas.
Tics appear to get worse with emotional stress and are absent while sleeping.
This antihyperactive drug does not cause the tic but precipitates it. Withdrawal of the drug, however, may not stop the tic once it has been initiated.
