Wow Eric your tics seem horrible. Have you ever seen anyone for them, or taken any medications for it? What other tics do you get?

I was on Zoloft before, pill form. It took me about a week or two before I noticed a difference. Why did you stop taking it before? Presently I am not on it because it made me very jittery. It made me bounce my leg something horrible. I couldn't sit still and it got to the point that people would stare at me wich made it worse. I hope you have better luck with it. Neophyte

Thanks alot. I had never heard of a tic like that before and I couldn't stop thinking about it which just made it worse. Thanks again I realy apreciate it a lot. Neophyte

Hi. I was diagnosed with tourete syndrome about 10 years ago. I have three other siblings with it. I have a blinking tic, a vocal tic (grunting and clearing my thoat), a srugging and head tossing tic, and within the past year or two I started to bite my tongue and the inside of my mouth. Those tics are relativly easily repressed or concealed but I have resently developed a new tic that's very dificult to repress, let alown hide. See it has something to do with my breathing. It kind of falters. I don't realy know how to explain it... It's kind of like when you try to exhail when your cold..it just kind of comes out uneven like. It feels like when you've done alot of phisical exersion and are trying to catch your breath and someone starts talking to you, except that I'm not out of breath...Sorry if my decripion is bad. I realy just can't describe it... I guess the best way is to say that it feels as though my breathing is shivering... It's not that bad but is quite irksome and I'm afraid of loosing control (which rarly happens when people are around) over it. I was wondering if anyone here has heard of a tic like that. I sometimes wonder if it is a tic but I've had it for about 2-3 monthes now and I get the same feeling from it as I do from my other tics. I hope some one can help me. Thank you. Neophyte[/b]
