[QUOTE="jannie, post: 37873, member: 2074"] Even though your husband has Tourette's Syndrome, I would not automatically assume difficult child is experiencing tics. I would recommend finding a neurologist tomorrow and have difficult child seen ASAP. If you can't get in to see a neurologist soon or your psychiatrist won't listen to you, I'd recommend a visit to the ER. You shouldn't mess around with APs because they can have serious side effects. Good luck. [/quote] You're making me a bit nervous....(but I do appreciate and respect the advice) even at the age of four the doctors mentioned tic disorders. He has done this tic movement before but it was only for a very short period of time. neuropsychologist testing done in December also diagnosed him with a tic disorder. Doesn't the dystonic reaction usually occur within a few days of starting a medication? It doesn't seem like it is dystonic if he has been taking it for 7 months. I'm sure I'd never get in to see a neurologist this quickly. [/QUOTE]
