Why are you trying to make Stimpaks?

Tick blood and Stingwing barbs are not guaranteed drops. Try behind Dolly Sods, Moonshiner's Cabin and the Hunter's Cabin for ticks. Also make sure you are using a maxed out Chemist and Super Duper perks.

The Luck Perk "Pharma Farmer" gives a minimum 40% chance of getting extra drugs in a location with drugs (First Aid box usually).

Areas respawn daily. You can go through a lower level area and pick up all the Stimpaks quickly.

Healing Salve is usually easier to make.
Food items can heal you as well.

I don't think anyone makes Stimpaks.

A colossal problem has been giving me a ton of stims if you are high enough level to kill and loot the adds.

There are a couple of alternatives that can make your Stimpacks go a LOT further.
1) Purified Water. Build Industrial Purifiers at your Camp and collect it in large amounts. You get 5 at a time from a full Industrial Purifier and they fill very, very quickly. I've had the first of my Purifiers have two more Purified Water appear by the time I've emptied the fourth. I've seen people with 10 or more. They literally never run out, by the time they are finished collecting the last, the first is guarenteed to have more water in it.
2) Healing Salves. The Forest version, especially, is easy to make in large amounts. They also heal quite a bit and don't expire. Have Green Thumb, Chemist, and Super Duper, going and you can get over a hundred made in less than a half hour. If you gather the plants you need while you are just going around and playing as normal, you won't need to farm at all.
3) Food. Plant Razor Grain in your Camp for Razor Grain Soup. It's the best of the Plantable soups for Healing. If you want to spend a little time gathering materials in the game world, there are many recipies that do quite a bit of Healing. Pumpkin Soup, for instance, is easy enough to make once you know where to find lots of Pumpkins, especially if you have Green Thumb.
4) Diluted Stimpacks. Each Stimpack becomes two Diluted Stimpacks. If you have Chemist, they become 4, with Super Duper, you have a chance at 8. With the Inteligence Perk that increases the effectiveness of Stimpacks, each of those Diluted Stimpacks will be as effective as a regular full strength one.
Do one or more of these things, and your Stimpack supply will just keep growing all on its own.
Oh, and 5) Some Events award multiple Stimpacks.
Hope this helps.

The tick blood is also used to make the "Tick blood tequila" in the "Tipsy Taste-Test" daily quest, unfortunately the ticks swell and explode, one in ten releases the item. The problem is accentuated above all by mutations with electric or radioactive shocks, the shock anticipates the shot of the weapon by exploding the tick.
