Does tourettes go away

Answer 1

Well, there isn't a clear answer to that. I discovered that i had tourette syndrome when i was 7 years old. I would say i had moderate symptoms, never blurted words, but had many other tics. I bounced from Rx to Rx, never noticing any helpful effects. At the end of highschool my tics were limited yet still visible. When I started college i stopped taking the meds and starting smoking pot, and that was the best thing for it. And since then, I wouldn't say im tic free, but i can confidently say that my tourettes is invisible to others. I have been using marijuana ever since i stopped taking the medication, and i am a little worried that my tics will come back if i stop smoking pot. But overall, My tourettes have gone away. although my tics have gone away i still have the anxiety and some depression every so often. Im not sure is smoking weed had anything to do with it, but who knows. peace.
