Your answer has nothing to do with her symptoms. She does not have repetive behavior. She has trembling hands and her feet turn blue when she sits for a period of time.
Brief Answer:
This is probably a side effect of her medication!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Trembling is a side effect of drugs used in treating ADHD such as Adderall. I will suggest that the doctor reviews her drugs and adjust accordingly. Another possible cause are essential tremors and for this she will benefit form medications such as propanolol and clonazepam.
Let me know how this goes. I wish your daughter well and interested n getting her updates.
