What Causes Involuntary Eye Movement With ADHD?

My 6 year old is taking Vyvanse & Intuniv for ADHD. He has been taking the Vyvanse for about 6 weeks. Dr suggested taking in afternoon instead of morning to address daytime sleepiness. Now he seems to be having frequent eyeball rolling to the upper right and it appears to be involuntary. Could this be a seizure or just a tic/twitch? If it is the latter, is this a side effect I should worry about?

Dear,
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Involuntary Eye Movement a Foolproof Indication for ADHD Diagnosis. There is direct correlation between ADHD and the inability to suppress eye movement in the anticipation of visual stimuli.

Your child is showing classical ADHD symptom and the treating doctor should be appraised of the symptom. Change in the medicine schedule must have triggered this problem. Worsening of ADHD is another possible cause. Appraise the child's doctor.
