Thanks for your input. I've reduced the mag taurate & added calcium so that it's 2:1. I'm going to give the supplements a little bit longer, but then I may need to try without them - his tics have increased dramatically, in type and severity. I've been killing myself trying to figure out what some triggers might be, but it seems impossible!

He's been on Seroquel since Nov, gradually up to 300mg about 2 mos ago, and 2 mg Tenex since last summer. He had some of the strange arm tics last summer & that's when we added the Tenex, which really seemed to help & I hadn't seen that type since then. The Tenex was originally used for anxiety & inattention and the Seroquel for a mood stabilizer, but the doctors have said these should both help with tics. Thanks for your input! Karynn

My 8 year old son has had tics for 1+ years, plus anxiety & ADHD. He is on Tenex and Seroquel, both of which have worked well. He recently started some bad eye rolling & rubbing. He's been off dairy for 1 week and has been taking 500mg of Magnesium Taurate for 4 days and also Flaxseed Oil. HE was already taking a multivitamin, B complex, & Zinc I saw a few new tics in the last couple days, but today he's having A TON of new tics (eye rolling, pulling on one eye, nodding his head, constant odd movements with his arms & elbows, pushing his shirt up under his armpits......). Can the Mag Taurate make tics worse? I'm not sure if he's on the right amounts. THis increase makes me want to stop giving it to him, but if it's normal, I'll try to hang on. I'd appreciate any input!
