> I now take Omega 3 fatty acids for the tics (see your doctor/ pharmacist) and also eat sardines and other oily fish. These do wonders for my tics but have no effect on the Respiratory Dyskinesia. Clonidine did very little for my tics. Clonazepam has helped a little in the past but makes me very tired. Have tried many other meds for tics but too many side effects

>Terentio, you need to see a movement disorders specialist at a University Neurology department. Psychiatrists wont help your problem, in fact they may make it worse. Youre problem is a medical problem, not a psychiatric one. You should seek help outside of psychiatry, as in a Neurologist who specializes in movement disorders.
Psychiatrists frequently cause movement disorders with their drugs, but they do nothing to then treat the new problems they create.
