hi again Pearl Doves

my son was on meds for his TS for a year, but he had really bad side effects and so we switched to a more natural treatment approach and have never looked back. That was 6 years ago.

I have documented it on this thread http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/showthread.php?t=1145

(FYI the meds my son had bad reactions to were haldol, luvox and zyprexa. I know other people have successfully used meds so i am only mentioning this because it was our experience, and you asked for input on the subject)

You will find a wealth of info on alternative treatments for TS at Latitudes/ACN http://www.latitudes.org

with great articles on the TS section http://www.latitudes.org/tics_tourettes.htm

where you will also notice info on an excellent book by Sheila Rogers on the subject http://www.latitudes.org/book.html

do also take a look at the TS/tics forum there too as natural treatments is the main topic of discussion there.

Do also take a look at our useful websites link above http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/showthread.php?t=681

Look forward to getting to know you
