Does caffeine make your tics worse?

[guy123]

Or those of your children? How much worse, and how long does the effect last for?

my son avoids caffeine as it makes his tics and his Crohn's symptoms worse

Yes, caffeine tends to excarberate tics when taken in at 2 cups of coffee or more, but 1 cup of strong coffee can sometimes make my focus better and tics less for 1-2 hours. Then tics get worse again
