The most notorious medication to exacerbate tics in patients with ADHD (attention deficit, hyperactivity disorder) are the methylphenidates (ie, Ritalin compounds). Amphetamines (ie, adderall) may also contribute to tics.
Tics can be made worse by stress or fatigue and tend to improve when the individual is absorbed in an activity or task that requires concentration
If you mean Tourette Syndrone, there is no actual way to control it completely. Do NOT focus on tics when they occur, try to keep your mind and body busy. Physical activity, especially sports, seemed to lessen severity of tics. It seemed when muscles were tired, tics slowed down. As for the verbal outbursts, as I get older, they rarely bother me. Tourette Syndrone Association has alot of information available about it.
