Do ADHD Pills Cause Behavioral Problems ?

Ok well this isn t so much of a drug abuse but I take ADHD pills and calm down pills. I first started off when I was little taking my adhd pills and when I did that I happen to pull my eyelashes out. and they were all gone, so one day I told my parents I wanted to stop taking the pills but not because of the eyelash pulling, because I also felt a little bit sick after. Then I quit for like 2 years and then I took the pills again and then the same things kept happening but not being sick but still pulling my eyelashes out, well now I barly have eyelashes and for a while I thought it was just me, but it was pretty weird how it happend again after I started taking my pills again, but I cant just stop taking the pills on and off again because that could cause serious problems so I have heard. So what should I do?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
You seem to have some kind of a personality disorder of pulling your eyelids. The pills that you are taking are not likely to produce any such side effect. A psychotherapist can help you both in stopping the drug abuse and in personality disorder.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
