Hi,
I'm a mom to a 14 yr old boy who has TS. I would say that in the last 6 months the tics are quite intense. He has started taking CALM (calcium and magnesium ) and. I recently decided after many days and nights of research, reading comments, breaking down the ingredients .. To order Native Remedies Tic Tamer. I've heard so many times always listen to that voice within .. My intuition, Conscience, told me not to order it but I did, then I received it and I waited to give it to him. Well today was his 2nd day of having the recommended .50 ml but I have only given it once a day for 2 days. The bottle says up to 3-5x a day.
Ive heard using the Kids CALM or CALM with tic tamer from many reviewers have been quite successful.
My son has only been taking CALM (calcium & Magnesium ) for 2 weeks. I believe that it's helping because a day without his Tics are definitely worse.
So back to Tic Tamer ,I gave him the stated amount in a bit if cold water and he did drink it. I thought he was going to say the taste was awful but it was tasteless to him.
He went to school and about 4 hours later he felt nauseated .. Headache .. Stomach ache.. Just not good! I brought him home and I have to say that I'm not sure how suck he was feeling but I noticed the tics were at bay.
I was in the kitchen.. He was in the living room playing a video game or watching TV and usually that's when they are at their worst. Very loud. Foot stomping, vocal tics louder than usual.. But I heard nothing for a solid 45 minutes!!!!
Maybe that doesn't sound like a long time but for my son he can barely go a minute in between each tick.
I haven't wanted to get my hopes up but by the evening 7-8 hours later his ticks were back full force!
Did it wear off? Were they even more intense ? Did he feel ill from the hyoscyamine ( 30 C) the one ingredient that kept me from ordering Tic Tamer. It's all hard to dicifer between the positive and negatives.
Today, before heading to the chiropractor ...I gave him the same amount in water. This time he didn't complain of feeling sick until this evening at 8:30 pm the same time I felt the Tic Tamer wore off the night prior.
I apologize if this isnt to the point but right now things are a bit confusing.
I've emailed Native Remedies twice re: the ingredients and then again with the physical ailments. Nothing back yet.
I will update Friday Eve !
Has anyone else experienced nausea or side effects from Tic Tamer?
Thanks..
