Ocd with motor tics
Sir, i had mild motor tics in childhood. Now i am on medication sertraline 100 mg for treating ocd. But now motor tics come back. I talked with some patients, he told me that it also come back his tics. Can sertraline come back tics? Can you suggest me some medicine to reduce tics? I am also on olanzapine 5 mg to reduce tics. It helps me somewhat but not completely. What should i do?
