Hello! ^U^
I thought I'd post in here as well, as I recently learned about Tourette's in AP Psych.
I was first diagnosed with ADD at age 10. I was put on Concerta, which did ABSOLUTELY nothing. I was then put on Adderall. I have been taking it for maybe around age 12 or so. I am 17 1/2 now, almost 18 years old. Adderall helped some, but I've noticed some odd things.
I do tend to sing (A LOT, in fact) in public, and I feel like I can't seem to help myself. I love singing, mind you, and I even sing at home (where my parents are constantly telling me to stfu ^^, but I would have my music on and just start singin or humming, solftly at first, and the I'd get so loud. An then people would tell me to stop singing or to (rudely) shut up.
I also noticed I tend to sometimes crank my neck to the side or my leg would twitch ever so gently sometimes (my leg's not a problem, but I thought about it, and noticed it does twitch more that it does). Or I would just sit there and my leg would start to rapidly go up and down like I have to go to the restroom. Or like I'm really hyper (which is rare, unless I've consumed Monster or a fairly large amount of sugar). I also sometimes tend to stutter.
Should I talk to a neurologist? I mean, I'm not worried a lot, but it's a bit unsettling to me. ^^;
I have some OCD tendencies (if that does even make a difference) about equal numbers and or if something looks crooked I just want to fix it. It if a string is out of place sometimes I tend to mess with it non-stop until it's the way I want it to be.
