Well, i get the "tic" when im not on the medication, which i only take for school, so ill be off of it for several months during the summer and still get it, which im somewhat sure eliminates the argument that this PARTICULAR tic is stimulant related. I know the difference between stimulant related tics and actual physical responses, as i get eye twitches too and those are stimulant related, but theyre habitual, ritualistic, and irrational. I can tell from experience that the urges of these tics are purely psychological and there is no physical urge to carry them out. You twitch your eye if you think or sense a particular condition with the superstitious fear that the universe will punish you if you dont, the eye doesnt hurt, or anything. So this controversy wouldn't go anywhere because the two sides are describing two different kind of ticks.
