What Causes Arm/leg Shaking And Upper Lip Twitching While Having ADHD?

my 13 yr old daughter randomly gets right side arm & leg shaking. Also along with this now her upper lip twitch. All is random. She is ADHD and takes 20mg of Adderal XR but she didn t take it at all today & she got out of the shower with the right side shakes. With the meds not being in her system could this still be a side effect of her meds or Im thinking something else.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi

Welcome to the HCM

I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. It seems that your daughter is suffering from partial form of epilepsy. I would recommend you to take her for proper neurological examination by pediatric neurologist. They may advice you for Brain imaging ( MRI), EEG and serum levels of adderal to know the reason for it.
There are many anti epileptic drugs which can be used to treat her once the definite diagnosis is established.
Hopefully this will help. I would be happy to help you with any further questions.
Take care
