[quote=Anonymous]Our DD's get much worse when she's getting sick or getting over being sick, so we do a lot to try to support her immune system like supplementing vitamin D, B6, magnesium, and zinc. She's also on guanfacine and buspar plus does OT and CBT-based therapy (though not specifically CBIT). She had a complex tic for a while where she would grab her foot behind her back and stretch her leg up (like a dance pose) and that one was particularly miserable. We haven't been able to reduce the simple tics much, she's constantly throat clearing and scrunching her face, but the complex ones are greatly reduced. It's interesting to hear a PP mention aripiprazole. She was on a very low dose of it when she was much younger, for aggressive behavior (she has ASD), and come to think of it she did not tic nearly as much then. It was never mentioned to us a treatment for ticcing.[/quote]
