Oh yeah, I did a search on it and realized it was a pain med. Thanks for posting again and letting me know, though. My boyfriend is going to see his GP to get a referral for the neurologist that my pdoc recommended, so I'm hoping he is able to find something that works. Like I mentioned earlier, the serzone seemed to help. He did notice that he tended to be more vocal about things that bothered him when on the serzone, not like the rages he has due to tourettes, but more like willing to complain to coworkers about something he would have stuffed otherwise? I was wondering if an AD ever had that effect on you? Scott thought it might have been that he had low level depression that the serzone was treating, and because he'd never been treated for depression before the AD was slightly disinhibiting.
I also wondered if it wasn't the AD affecting the tourettes somehow, he doesn't usually have vocal tics, but I was wondering if maybe it was bringing out a new tic? But would speaking your mind really be considered a tic? Probably not.I worry about my boyfriend sometimes because I think he drinks heavily 2-3 nights a week as a way to dull his anxiety and other mental health problems. I'm betting that he'll drink less if he finds an effective med though, he seemed willing to trade serzone for drinking when he discovered that 4 beers+serzone= puking his brains out all night.
Anyways, I was happy to see that you had found something that worked, I know you'd tried just about every med out there.
take care,
cole
