[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 442061, member: 1550"] Ok, I have a question about the tic disorder? Did you take him to a neurologist? I would want him checked for Tourette's Syndrome. Children AND adults with Tourettes (although Tourettes can get better with age) tend to have a very, very high percentage of bipolar and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). It goes along with this very real medical disorder. I have no experience with Tourettes myself, but developed an interest in it and read a few books on kids and adults who had the disorder. They all had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), at the very least. This is again a MEDICAL disorder that causes some mental illnesses. Do you feel the medication is helping your son? Are you sure it's not the medication causing the tics? I would not trust a pediatrician to diagnose a tic disorder. I would take it to the Big Guy...the Child Neurologist. [/QUOTE]
