Tourette's Syndrome
"I was diagnosed at 18 but has had mild tics since I was about 5. They got much more intense as I got older and I was first put on a few other drugs but none really helped. I&#039;m on 8mg of orap a day and it helps for the most part until I&#039;m in public or a stressful situation but has generally helped. I started getting muscle spasms as a side effect but was put in benzotropine for them and they&#039;ve gone away now. It makes me a bit drowsy and I had dry mouth for the first few weeks but with water and coffee I&#039;m able to function fairly normally! My tics are still obvious but improving. Overall it&#039;s been helpful."
