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.

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.
