I think its best that you consult your child's physician about this. Have you had your child examined by a neurologist? Sometimes children on ADHD meds develop transient tics and if the medication is stopped the tics go away but you also mention tremors since your child was 18 months old which is non related to medication.  There is an underlying reason for the tremors and jerky movements and you need to get down to the bottom of this asap. There are many possiblities in terms of why this is happening but only a professional can give you an informed diagnosis. Good luck.

What is the doctor saying? Does s/he know about this yet?
