[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 140359, member: 2423"] How much Zoloft is he taking? Does his anxiety seem worse since the increase? How much Abilify is he taking? Anxiety and tics are related; when anxiety increases, tics can worsen. Having said that, Abilify can cause dystonia -- involuntary muscle contractions that cause uncontrolled and alarming movements of the face, neck, tongue and back and an uncontrolled rolling of the eyes. Boys are at greater risk for dystonic reactions. I'd strongly recommend a call to the psychiatrist in the morning to see what he thinks. If he is not certain, I'd recommend asking for a consultation with a neurologist. Dystonia can worsen over time so you do need to know if that's what you're dealing with. [/QUOTE]
