Does ADHD cause twitching?
The short answer is: No.The long answer...According to the DSM IV-TR3 ADHD is classified as having 4 types, which are labeled as follows: (inattentive, hyperactive, combined, or not otherwise specified).The believed neurological dysfunction associated with ADHD involves many interdependent brain structures integral to providing human's "executive functions."Examples of executive functioning include: planning ahead, keeping a schedule, completing tasks, managing distractions & staying on a task, impulse control, awareness of the passage of time, and the prioritization of tasks.Essentially the different forms of ADHD arise from the respective affected loci in the brain which provide the functions of executive functioning. The brain structures believed to be involved in ADHD are the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and the adrenal gland (HPA-axis, aka the limbic system)... other structures include the cigulate gyrus, and the prefrontal lobes.Twitching is not a symptom of ADHD. The affected neurological systems which may cause twiches are distinct from the neurological systems often associated with ADHD. ADHD may be *co-morbid* (that is present in addition to...) another distinct neurological dysfunction, such as a tic disorder or Tourette's syndrome.*Twitching is a side-effect of many commonly prescribed drugs used to treat ADHD. They may range from mild muscle twitches in the arms or legs, but usually subside.Check your dosage of your prescribed stimulants, they may periodically deplete the brain's level of available neurotransmitters, such as dopamine... which is required for fine movement control... the substantia nigra is affected by ADHD drugs, and the twitching side effect may originate from transient and minor depletion of dopamine levels due to the stimulant's (particularily Adderall/amphetamine's) increased output of cortical dopamine.
