The seroquel helps stop them a lot, but when it wears off we still see some. Will this and when will they go away? The doctor wants us to switch to prosac. Will that cause it too? ***** Once again this site is such a great learning opportunity!! My 13 y.o. was on 200 mg. of Zoloft and 300 mg. seroquel about a year ago and had horrible physical and vocal ticcing, but I never knew the connection. They had added clonedine to help the tics. The zoloft was pooping out so we slowly switched to prozac, and also reduced the seroquel. Her tics were very greatly reduced so we no longer needed the clonedine, but I hadn't made the connection!! So yes, switching to prozac was a good thing in regards to ticcing. Here I thought it might have been the seroquel causing the tics. Thanks for enlightening me. She is now back on 100 mg. seroquel, with very occasional ticcing. FYI, for KAtie, the prozac (40 mg.) worked well for about 9 mos., but she started to get way too hyper at bedtime, and was saying innapropriate things. We switched to Luvox in September and are doing well. My 10 y.o. is still doing well on a low dose (20 mg.) of prozac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
