This is my first time using this forum, so I do not really know what to expect. I was diagnosed with Tourette's when I was around 12, and was put on medication. Before the medication, the tics were very bad. They were mostly verbal and very loud. But, after I was put on 2 medications, they stopped for a little while. I am 17 now. But, this year, around the time of Thanksgiving, a small tic has come back. It is sort of a nose twitch thing. I had the same tic at Thanksgiving last year. I think it has something to do with the stress I have around my family. Anyways, the medications I am on are risperidone and clonidine. I would love to hear about what other people in the Tourette's community have to say about what they do when their tics come back. I have never known anyone else with Tourette's, so I have never been able to get real advice on how to deal with the syndrome.
