I've just added NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) to my regimen, but my neuro cautioned it was for OCD more than tics (if OCD is better, anxiety is better, therefore tics are better) - but I do have mild OCD (checking), so I wouldn't mind if that got a little better.<br /><br />I know I won't try any more medications, I'm just now starting to get my health back from the medications (adogforkatherineislosingit.blogspot.com), and I'm not willing to try anything else and risk all the crazy side effects. Congrats on working towards your degree - I'm about to graduate with my masters, so I know how hard it can be, especially when doped up on medications.<br /><br />Owen is phenomenal, I don't blog enough about how much he's helping me - once my life gets a little more stable I want to blog more. He is really helping me get my life back... or rather, should I say - he's giving me a life. :)Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17907540079822674904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6336121774490456961.post-44863571796840713902013-05-30T13:37:43.683-07:002013-05-30T13:37:43.683-07:00Thank you for this post.

I'm currently trying another one which helps a little and have a third I'm going to try to see if it helps at all but after that I don't have any more options because all the other choices would knock me out too much to do my degree. It'll probably sound odd but it's nice to hear somebody acknowledge that there might not be a medication that will help me because I know that and it's irritating to be told I'm not allowed to say it.<br /><br />p.s.<br />sorry if this comment now seems creepy. My tourettes is fairly bad and I'm looking at getting a service dog to help me but it's uncommon on the UK (and all the services are overloaded so I'm looking at training my own). Your blog on how the service dog is helping you is very helpful and interesting. Thank you. :)Marienoreply@blogger.com
