Default Regarding the tardive phonic tics.

I'm sorry for what you've been going through for far too long.

Just thinking...

How long ago exactly did you stop the Seroquel?

Did the phonic tics start while you were on that or after you stopped. Never had any tics before?

You said "I had a somewhat atypical reaction coming off of it."

Do you mean it was really difficult but the docs said it would be easy??

If anyone ever tells you it's always a breeze then they are wrong. My son was on Risperidone when he was young for different reasons from you and it was sooooo difficult to get off. The problem was that it wasn't helping either. It had hit the well known neuroleptic Wall. Bang. Stopped working. Then it was so difficult getting him off it that I ended up having to shave the tablets and do it ultra slowly. The doctors had just said it would take a couple of weeks to decrease. Wrong. It took months.

Thinking of you. You have a lot on your plate.
