[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 109722"] facial tic's is not a reason for a diagnosis. My difficult child has had very noticable facial tics this last month. School Principal even called me about it. Talked to his neurologist, and he said: difficult child came off of Lamictal- after 3 years- (mood stabalizer/seizure control medication) a few months ago. He could of had the tics and it was controlled by Lamictal. difficult child was also on Topomax- same here. Could of controlled the tic's. difficult child has started Concerta a few months ago. Neurologist doesn't think it is medicine related. Also said that kids with ADHD often have facial tics, and if it gets to irritating we can control it with medication. Now, difficult child has never had any specific tests done. 3 years ago, he was brought to psychiatrist, anxiety breakdown, totally lost. psychiatrist said - Bipolar. Put him on Lamictal. Insurance/financial issues cannot have him tested. Due to headaches, neurologist did do MRI, MRA, eeg. put him on topomax. he is off all medications now. difficult child asked psychiatrist for something to help him stay focused. I personally see no difference whether he takes concerta or not. difficult child said he notices. His facial tics are much more noticable when he is anxious, worried. Facial tic's alone could be so many things. [/QUOTE]
