Guest guest Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 I specifically asked Dr. Cohen about treatment for tics when he saw my girls 6 months ago. He strongly suggested Topapax. He also said there were two other drugs that could be considered but from his experience, Topamax seems most effective with the least side effects for children with mito. We started lies on Topamax and the difference is like day and night. She does still have an occasional break through vocal tic, but they are now rare. Her tics were so pronounced that she was on the verge of failing a public speaking course. With that said....we do have to repeat her sleep study l;ater this week to ensure that the drug is not interferign with her sleep cycles and/or EEG during sleep. I'm hoping the sleep study is good, because the change in her is remarkable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
