Hello feeah,
My son uses clonodine. Hes 17 and has been on it since he was 7. It seems to help especially at night so he can sleep better... At the moment his tics and vocalizations are at a minimum. Welcome to our family!!! vicky |

Just my experience but I've only come across one other person in years and years who was prescribed Maxolon for tics. There's really not too much in the research about it with regard to treatment of tics. I'll post what I found in PubMed.
There are some potential side-effects that I'd be really wary about. http://www.drugdigest.org/DD/DVH/Use...axolon,00.html Maxolon = Active Ingredients: Metoclopramide Oral Representative Names: Clopra, Maxolon, Octamide, Reclomide, Reglan Oral PubMed Abstract J Am Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry. 2005 Jul;44(7):640-6.

Hi fee,
My son had similar experience with Risperdal/Risperidone when he was young. I've heard about this from time to time. It's as if the medication hits a wall and stops being helpful or effective. Earlier this year I read and saved an article written about similar outcome with antispychotic medications. Not that this is of any real help to you, but it is interesting. http://www.jneurosci.org/cgi/content...act/27/11/2979 Behavioral/Systems/Cognitive "Breakthrough" Dopamine Supersensitivity during Ongoing Antipsychotic Treatment Leads to Treatment Failure over Time Anne-Noël Samaha, Philip Seeman, Jane Stewart, Heshmat Rajabi, and Shitij Kapur Quote:
