LATT1 Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Hello - I 'm new and reading Natural Treatments for Ts & Ts. I am finally finding people whose experiences are like ours. My 12 yo has terrible tics. I believe meds are making them worse. Can anyone tell me how long the washout period is and what might help the demonic behaviors that go along with it? I realize I need to find some allergic / food triggers first before I try to convince the dr. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemar Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Hi LATT1 The withdrawal period, and severity, of coming off a medication depends on the type of med itself, along with the length of use. We were advised to titrate down very slowly, so from full dose to 3/4 , to 1/2, to 1/4.... then half that, quarter that till off. It was suggested to have at least a week between titrating down doses. We did this under physician guidance, with great care and it still took over 6 months till we felt my son was "back". During withdrawal we relied on acupuncture, resonance biofeedback, Chinese cupping and other natural detox remedies. It wasn't easy, but oh the relief when we had him off those horrid meds that were doing more harm than good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemar Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 PS I also learned a lot from Peter Breggin's book "Your Drug May Be Your Problem" and other of his writings https://breggin.com/your-drug-may-be-your-problem/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
