Hi again, all. Luke is finally doing much better. I believe the abrupt decrease in the clonidine kicked him for a bit. But it seems behind him now. The Abilify seems to be helping a lot. He is taking a total of only 4mg right now, and will bump up another 2 mg at the end of the week. He is also using Xanax XR once a day on the mornings he has class for the additional help with his vocal tics. So far no major side effects, just a bit tired and more thirsty than usual. His mood is sooooo much better and I'm grateful for that too! FYI Chemar, he has really taken to long soaks in Epsom salt too. Thanks for the idea.

Primary care doc ordered an xray of his neck and upper spine today too. Hopefully that will tell us a little more about the wear and tear on his neck.

Thanks so very much everyone! It is very nice to have a TS family to bounce things off of.

Hugs, Cheryl
