Vitamin C

That's not a particularly large amount. An orange has about 70mg of C, an glass of OJ has about 125mg. Advocates of large doses of C talk about taking 2000-3000 mg. So I wouldn't think 500mg is overboard. My own son, who's had tics in the past, takes 1000mg without issue.

I found several google hits than talked about using C as a way to calm tics, as C is needed to turn tryptophan into serotonin. C also acts an an antioxidant, clearing the body of toxins and dead cells. The only thing I could think of would be if this were a herx-like response to additional toxins being cleared. But it's a low dose, so that's a stretch, but who knows.

 

Anything else that could be at play? Change in meds? Change in health? Any mold exposure?
