I also have Tourett's, and funny enough for a long time I had no idea anyone else had them. I struggled all of my life with them because no one knew what it was. The only thing that I have found that works for me (mind you not a cure, just helps to control it) is smoking. The nicotine supresses it quite a bit. I never realized how much until I tried quiting. I'm going to switch to the gum to see if it has the same effect or not. But there is a big difference when I'm not smoking, or smoking less. The "ticks" act out of control when the nicotine leaves my body. I don't know if this will help you or not. If you find something better that won't depress me or make me tired please let me know.
