How long does it take for the tics to go away after stopping the medication?

Hello. My daughter is currently taking Biphentin 20mg for tdah. She has developed facial tics as a result of this medication. We stopped the medication 2 days ago but the tics are still present.

Good morning, ma'am,

It can take between 5 to 7 days but in the vast majority of cases it takes less time.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
