My #tics related to severe #tourettes have changed since I stopped using #GabAPentin as a way to manage them.
Before they were subtle, but almost never stopped as they were impossible to fully satisfy. They were smaller movements or twitches that were very frequently.
I switched to using a higher dose of #Guanfacine which is an #adhd and tic specific medication, and now they come in waves and are more forceful, and harder to contain.
But I can actually have some peace.

CW: ADHD meds - 1st night of new combo
@SleepyCatten interested to know how it helps with the #RSD and also with sleep. I get pretty bad RSD myself. I also suffer from #DSPD. I'm on #dexamfetamine tablets and don't take them after 2pm but I'm still awake until the early hours of the morning most nights.
I've considered going back to my Dr to get a script for #melatonin but if #guanfacine helps with sleep also then maybe that could be the go.

The older I get, the more #medicine I have.
List of my daily meds-
600 MG #GabAPentin x3 for seizures, #tourettes tic calming, muscle spasms, nerve damage, and sleep.
15 MG #buspirone x3 for severe #ptsd and panic/anxiety disorders.
Albuterol for #asthma.
#Guanfacine for #adhd and could help other issues, new.
#hydroxizine for sleep.
#flonase for nose
I realize now I should have had these 20+ years ago, and always had these issues.

Damn it only took like 4 years of arguing with doctors that I have severe #tourettes meaning there is an extremely high chance I have #adhd and OCD too.
The adult #symptoms list is my entire personality, and it was diagnosed and NOT TREATED AT ALL as a child due to weird side effects or negligence.
I have an ADHD medication now.
#Guanfacine apparently.
I haven't taken it yet but it was prescribed.

Day 25 of #guanfacine. Added 0.1 mg of clonidine at night to sleep and becoming more rested. I tire out quicker, but I'm more present.
And some days I have motivation for side crafts and feel genuinely happy. I honestly didn't think I would feel this way again.

Day 6 of #guanfacine. Sleep affected, so I have switched dose to morning. Still tweaking.
But for the first time in several years, I was able to sit down and start working with a clear head and not feel like I was fighting my brain to do something. I could just... work.

Anyone following the person healed from 20 years of 2002 #Covid (yes the one most of us narrowly escaped) by #Guanfacine? She’s getting better by the day. If this turns out to be permanent for her, GIVE ME SOME.

Tiny clinical study. But interesting reasoning and hopeful results. I personally think this will only work for certain long COVID folks, but still good to have vetted options.

CW: Week recap of school drama and autistic parenting
After a couple of severe #dysregulated situations at school and some property damage, an emergency #IEP meeting, doctor appointments, starting #guanfacine med… things seem to be calming down. I keep hoping the #rollercoaster will smooth out before too long. It’s #stressful, esp since I’m also #autistic. I don’t think most people I know get that. #autisticparenting #actuallyautistic @actuallyautistic
