I sometimes get tics like twitching my head or shoulders. I dont have tourettes btw. I just tic a lot when im anxious or excited. I do have diagnosed anxiety and adhd so that might have something to do with it?

    I have anxiety tics, it's actually pretty common. It could also be a form of stimming since you have ADHD. And like sweetone89 said, it could be a side effect if you're taking medications. One of the anxiety meds I used to take made me blink constantly and have eye twitches. But asisde from the meds thing, a lot of people experience tics from high anxiety or excitement, just not to the severity level of a person with Tourette's.

    Could be a medication side effect.

    I would say so, it can happen if you have high levels of anxiety.
