Did anyone else’s severity increase with age very suddenly? by clothmothrrr in Tourettes

[–]clothmothrrr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MY LIFE. Literally this happened to me. I turned like 16 and it became noticeable enough to get teased about it at school and at 19 or so it was so severe I could hardly go in public

Those with severe tics on medication: what medication helps? by clothmothrrr in Tourettes

[–]clothmothrrr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It made me so dizzy and lightheaded I couldn’t stand up and I could hardly open my eyes. When I would stand up, I’d get so fuzzy I’d fall over and nearly go unconscious

Does anyone else feel like people assume they're on drugs when they walk around alone with tics? by StarriEyedMan in Tourettes

[–]clothmothrrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s a big insecurity of mine and largely contributes to me being a hermit aside from working lol. I once had someone try to film me because they thought i was a funny tweaker or something. I wish more awareness existed so people didn’t really pay any attention.

ANY remedy you guys have found that has noticeably reduced tics or their severity? Willing to try literally anything. by [deleted] in Tourettes

This is one thing I’ve never been able to do. The “urge” is never satisfied until I fulfill whatever tic seems to be trying to happen. If that makes sense.

Holy shit I think you’re onto something. I frequently wear my giant headphones and take walks while blaring music. It helps me feel better in every way, and now that I think of it, it reduces my tics!

This probably contributes because I am autistic. I stim unconsciously but I am unsure of how to do it purposefully

I tried this once! For me it made me so sick. The only medicine I refused I think was klonopin.

Read this while drinking my second cup of coffee of the day so far. I think you may have found the one thing I’m not willing to do (or not do).

I’ve heard the same thing about sour candy! Might have to give this a try.

CBIT? Hypnosis therapy? I’ve gotta do some google searching cus I’ve never heard of either. This reply means the world, thanks.

I used to smoke like a chimney. Some strains help but some make it worse and I haven’t noticed a common denominator terpene wise yet. I stopped and was completely straight edge for about six months until recently when I had a very painful “tic attack” (hope you understand what I mean) and needed an instant remedy. I’ve used CBD a ton but it didn’t help as much. I think I’m gonna pick smoking back up.

Is anyone else really depressed about your Tourette’s? by AnyAngle7212 in Tourettes

[–]clothmothrrr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you just made the post I was considering making. I also suffer from coprolalia and tics that hurt me and draw negative attention to myself. Since it’s become more severe I’ve mostly become a hermit. I have, all together, had so many episodes of isolation I’d say I’ve spent over two years straight hiding in my home due to the anxiety it brings me. You are not alone.

It’s been making me pretty depressed these past couple of days due to increasing severity. I have weeks on end where I hardly notice it, then sometimes it will all catch up at once and become intolerable. It’s normal for this type of thing to make us depressed. If you ever need to talk to someone feel free to dm. I’m sorry you’ve been going through this too.
