hi, I have a tic disorder that is rather new. my parents believe its from my medicine but I doubt it. if anyone can support me by just talking to me and checking in on me that would be great. I'm generally a good person, but I have many other anxiety struggles too.... I'm looking forward to hearing from someone asap!

It might be from the medicine or maybe an anxiety symptom. I have had anxiety all my life. Therapy and meds help. But it is still a struggle. Do you see a therapist?

Hi johncronin,

Welcome! The medicine that you are taking, is that for anxiety? Always a good idea to let the prescribing doctor know of any symptoms you are getting. Yes, anxiety is tough. Coming here and reading, and answering questions when I can, even reading other people's answers, to other's posts, I find helps me. I hope you find the same luck that I have had.

Hi john, what do your therapist and psychiatrist think of the tic? Do they feel it is from the medicine? Please tell us a bit about yourself. There are many caring people here, and will be glad to talk with you.

Welcome to the group! Battling anxiety as a daily problem is tough. Glad you are getting help to deal with it. You are smart to talk about it with people who care. Keep in touch.

allo john. How are you? I have heard of tics starting to appear from long-term SSRI use, which would tie in with what your parent is saying - but I'm sure that sort of thing can be investigated. I hope it goes away, I get one in my right eyelid when I am under bad stress, and it drives me up the wall. - oh, are you taking magnesium and potassium?

I just recently joined the group, but have battled struggled with anxiety nearly all of my life. The tic could be coming from the meds because most meds do cause some type of side effects that is why I have choose to not use medication for my anxiety. If you check the anxiety symptom website... www.anxietycentre.com it will give a list of ALL the symptoms that anxiety can cause.

    Today I filed an application online for three things from the State of New Jersey.  I surprised myself!  I wasn't expecting to do it but one thing led to another and I did it.  I've been putting it off.  Another thing that I'm feeling good about is my outside kitties.  They aren't running away anymore and let me get quite close.  Two of them were relaxing on my steps a little bit ago.  I...
