[QUOTE="newly worried parent, post: 442051, member: 12314"] I forgot to mention...aside from the mood disorder/ Bipolar Disorder diagnosis recently, his Tic Disorder (as per his pediatrician)started about a year ago. He constantly would roll his head (like if someone is trying to pop/crack their neck) stretching his jaw (hard to explain), and clearing his throat (even while drinking!) He was doing these things constantly: at least one of these things every minute or two. He saw a chiropractor for a couple of months, but they persisted. They seem to worsen when he is stressed,deep in thought,tense, etc... The Guanfacine stopped them completely for about 1 1/2 wks. But then he pulled a neck muscle while jumping on the trampoline, and they started back 5xs worse than ever. Once his neck got better, he is now still doing his neck and jaw thing, but not as much as he used to. No more clearing the throat. This seemed to be when everything started to slowly come about: the tics, the moods, the problems at school, etc... Over the year they got progressively worse. [/QUOTE]
