That was a very good article. Confusing, but good once I could figure it out!! Thanks for the info.

Ok, I went and got the recommended amounts of suppliments. I went to a health food store and they did not have magnesium/tuarine mixed. I only got the magnesium I was nervous about trying the taurine since I have read it might increase the tics. Will magnesium help w/o taurine, if not is there something else I can try? When I assesed my current vitamens and diet I am getting enought calcium (1400) and not enough in everything else. Magnesium only 100 mg, zinc 30 mg, and fatty acids 250 mg. I found the recommended fatty acids dose for me (a lactating mother) is betweeen 650 and 1000 mg per day. WOW! I didn't realize I was so defiecent in so many areas. Thanks for your help. I am still curious about the taurine? Is it ok to take it seperate than magnesium? Or should I just leave it out for now and see if mag. alone helps? I really appreciate the advice.

Thanks for the info. A few other questions now. How much is enough B vitamens? I am already getting enough Calcium, and almost zinc, so I'll add the magnesium taurate. Also, I am getting 250 mg of fish oils now, is that enough as well? Where do I find the specific amounts of what is recommended to help with TS?

I have very mild TS, and am interested in taking suppliments to help control it. I have never taken any meds for it, so don't know what works and what doesn't. I did do some research on what suppliments to take, but it seems like alot since my tics are not severe. I am wondering what few suppliments I can start with to see if those help before adding ALL of them. Which ones seeem to work the best with controlling the tics. I do not have any OCD symptoms, just slight neck, mouth, finger twitches. I would like to take as little as possible. Amanda

I am new to these forums and have a mild form of TS. Just slight neck twitches and a few other small ticks. I have a 1 year old son and am worried that he might have TS as well. My husband has ADHD and from what I have read they sometimes go hand in hand. My questions is at what age did you start noticing your child has nervous habits? Also, are there common first ones? So far I don't notice anything in my son, except at bedtime when he rests his head on my shoulder he will lift it and lay it maybe 10 times. I don't know if this is a beginning twitch or just trying to get comfortable on my bony shoulder? Any help would be appreciated. Amanda
