tics - SSRI's

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My dd started with tics when we raised her zoloft to 125mg. As we

reduced it, the tics lessoned. When we started prozac, there were not

many. As the dosage of prozac got in her system, the tics are back.

But not as bad as when she was on zoloft.

She started on 40mg prozac, but is not on 30mg. She tics every day -

often when stressed and more at night. Should we ask the doctor to

lower the prozac more? To see if the tics subside more? She is much

better than she was and is willing to work some on the OCD. The

seroquel helps at night too.

The tics are disturbing to see, especially since she has never had them

before. I don't know what to expect of them. But she has a big

responsibility coming up where she will have to talk in front of a lot

of people - and I don't want her to be ticcing up there!!!

It seems to me (but not sure) that the tics are medication related.

What is normal treatment for someone with tics, OCD and ADHD? Maybe I

just have to accept them?? My friend, a psychiatrist, thinks 30mg of

prozac is too high for prozac - but I have heard otherwise from so many.

Thanks. Ellen
