This is very important advice. I called my pdoc today when I have noted zero improvement of my ADD on Ritalin, but an annoying tic that I do not wish to have for the rest of my life. It looks like it's Adderall or Dexedrine next. I would prefer Dexedrine as I've heard it's less likely to cause anxiety.
