Is there any effective non-medical treatment for facial tics?

i just wanted to share this with you. i had severe facial tics which kind of faded away completely after i did an experiment under doctor's supervision and eliminated the eye drops i was taking for glaucoma. it seems i am allergic to sulfa drugs. you may want to look into the side affects of any meds you take to see if this is possible. whatever you do, don't stop on your own.





if your insurance covers bio-feedback training and your problem is set off by certain triggers like stress - it might be worth looking into.





by the way - they do sell books on how to do bio-feedback if you wish to try it on your own.





try to notice what sets off the tics and good luck.Is there any effective non-medical treatment for facial tics?

Treatment


Transient childhood tics are not treated. Calling the child's attention to a tic may increase its severity or prolong its disappearance. A non-stressful environment is helpful in both decreasing the frequency of a tic, and hastening its disappearance.





If tics are disabling, medications such as Risperidone (as well as others) may be effective in controlling the tics.
