Are Tourettes disorder and tics the same thing?
A repetitive movement that is difficult, if not impossible, to control. Tics can affect any group of muscles. The most common are facial tics, such as eye- blinking, nose-twitching, or grimacing. Tics that affect the muscles used to produce speech are known as vocal tics, and can range from grunts or whistles to the repetition of complete words or phrases. Complex motor tics involve multiple, sequenced movements, and can include behaviors such as twirling in place, tapping a certain number of times, or stooping to touch the ground. You can have a tic without having Tourette's Syndrome. Tourette's syndrome is a disorder that prominently features tics, often to the point of causing significant distress and problems functioning. It is more common in people with ADHD, obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety but it can occur on its own.

Has anyone experienced tremors or vocal tics while taking Strattera?
ADHD and Tourette's syndrome are closely related; some people have both of these together. When a physician is initially screening someone for ADHD, he or she should ask about vocal tics to see if the patient also may have Tourette's. Strattera (or any of the other ADHD medications) can sometimes bring out these behaviors in people (not cause them--just "unmask" them). If this is happening to you, speak with your physician. Hope this helps! Dr. B.

What's Tourette syndrome?
The essential features of Tourette's Disorder are multiple motor tics and one or more vocal tics. A tic is a sudden, rapid, recurrent, non-rhythmic, stereotyped, motor movement or vocalization. Tics may occur many times a day, recurrently throughout a period of more than 1 year. During this period, there is never a tic-free period of more than 3 consecutive months. The onset of the disorder is before age 18 years but some cases worsen in adulthood.Tourette Syndrome is a connection in the nervous system that makes the person to make sudden movements and sounds (also known as tics) these tics can come in two forms motor and vocal ticsmotor tics - are the sudden movements and twitchesvocal tics - are the sudden soundsIn some rare cases tics may require cussing of even hitting themselves over and over again violently but be cautious not to bring it up because it will just make matters worseTourette's syndrome or Tourette syndrome is a condition that usually sets in in young childhood and is characterised by tics, all uncontrolled by the person with the condition. Tics may be facial movements, arm movements, shoulder movements or neck movements (or others). Tics may also include vocal utterances, as equally uncontrollable to the patient as the movement tics. Vocal tics may include the utterance of random words, or the uttering of socially inappropriate words and phrases including swearwords. 'Uncontrollable' is not quite accurate as many people with the condition do feel the tic (movement or verbal) coming on but cannot feel relief again until a coming twitch is twitched or a coming shout is shouted. Thus the person with Tourettes who feels the tic coming can choose to delay the tic/opt not to allow the emergence of the tic, but this may result in worse ticcing later. Or, it may be that the the build-up of the feeling of the oncoming tic is so great that the tic has to be let out or the discomfort of holding it in would be too great. It is especially this latter sense that makes me call the tics of Tourettes 'uncontrollable'.Social situations may be awkward for Tourettes patients. Awkward uttering of swearwords or rude phrases in public may occur, or odd wordless but audible noises like squeaks. The movement tics may be awkward too. They may be strange twitches, stretching of the limbs, shakes of the head or jerks of various parts.
