What Causes Tardive Dyskinesia Of The Tongue?
Over the last few weeks my wife noticed that I've been sticking out my tongue. In January I was diagnosed with ADD anf began taking Ritalin 5 mg increased to 30 mg. I spoke with my Pharmacologist and we reduced the dosage to 25 mg, no change. We decided to chnage meds and I started taking Adderall 20 mg daily since 5/21, too early to tell

Hello,
I can understand your concern. However, changing medicine may not be helpful in your case as Adderall also causes muscle twitches and tremors as a side effect.
In addition, if you stay conscious regarding your tongue sticking out, you can control it by paying little attention to it.
However, if the condition does not come into control, you should contact the prescribing doctor.
I hope this information helps. Thank you for choosing HCM. I wish you feel better soon.
