[QUOTE="totoro, post: 223996, member: 3155"] K started getting "tics" the first couple of weeks of starting Risperdal. That was 2 years ago. She has been on Abilify and Seroquel also. She has been off of them. The tics have not gone away. Every psychiatrist says the same thing, the starting dose of Risperdal was too low to start the tics. BS! She did not have them before, she did have tongue thrust before but it go worse. Her drooling got worse also. She cracks her knuckles and hyper-extends her fingers compulsively. She used to tap her toes after each step, that has calmed. She basically has started all kind of *movements* since starting AP's. She also pops her elbows... she jerks her body at times also. We had a sleep deprived study... nothing. We had to push for that. One psychiatrist put her on Cogentin, which is what a lot put kids on to control movements or tics from AP's. My kid needs an AP right now. So I have to weigh the bad with the good. Her hallucinations and rages have decreased since starting an AP. So while some would say no way, don't give it. It depends on your child. Your kids situation and the Symptoms. I would not take a do not worry about it from the psychiatrist though. Our psychiatrist watches K at every apt. This is one of the reasons she will not increase the Seroquel with K. Seroquel has added the least of the *tics* to K. I really don't know what K is experiencing... it truly does seem like tics. Now her movements seem like they have become almost compulsives so it is difficult to know if they have become almost habit like? [/QUOTE]
