[QUOTE="YoyoMama, post: 234926, member: 6659"] I have had discussions with two psychiatrists concerning his tics. They both eliminated Tourettes at this time and both concluded that they are anxiety related. One psychiatric specialist suggested that his tics may be a result of the Vivanse which may induce a low level mania and push him toward Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). His primary psychiatrist believes this lip licking (which replaced the "eyebrow clicking, nose flicking" tic a year ago is simply a product of anxiety. I am aware that it may become something more and would like to work towards decreasing his anxiety or at least reduce anxiety provoking environments as much as possible. [/QUOTE]
