Hey

these are 2 tics I will not miss in the slightest!!

Hey doesn't have ADD? Dr wants to put him on meds for ADD and

OCD, without aggravating the TS. It worries me to mix so many meds.

Hi , me again, I just replied to one of your's and then saw your

reply to . Yeah, maybe the BM and the spitting are both part of

the TS, from what I was reading about TS.

Hey

We did decide to take your advise, and try just treating OCD, i really think

the ADD isnt affecting as much as OCD, since his grades started to fall when

it and TS began.

Do you think not having the other boys tested made a difference?

Easy......that would be sooooo nice

, well doesn't have any ADD diagnosed. I think we are

all in family a bit ADD, but I think 2 of my sons are ADHD. None of

us ever tested. I do regret not getting a couple of sons tested.

But ...I dunno, I think it might just be the OCD. I can't

recall him being so " ADD " before his OCD began in 6th. Even then it

seemed a couple years or so after that I wondered about ADD for him

too, but straight A's in school still.

Well if you start meds for both -- I would think he would start just

one medication, see how that goes and then start another?? I have

read here and elsewhere that it is sometimes hard getting a

good " balance " of meds when treating both ADD and OCD. Maybe I

should have said trying to find/adjust to the right dosage; like ADD

med might aggravate OCD or other way around. Nope, nothing is ever

EASY! Hopefully it will work out perfectly in your case!
