Tourette's Syndrome
"My son is 19 and has had severe tics (screaming, mumbling, spitting, punching motions to name a few) for 4 years after having moderate symptoms since he was diagnosed at age 4.  Last Monday, at our new neurologist&#039;s office, he was ticing roughly once a minute.  He was prescribed Abilify, and the next day noticed a remarkable decrease in his tics.  Unfortunately, he also had an extremely uncomfortable sense of restlessness.  The doctor cut his dose in half, and my son has been experiencing mild tics approximately four times an hour since.  This has been a miracle for him.  He does not take any other medications.  In the past, he had tried Abilify, but was taking Orap at the time as well, and had an increase in tics."
