> Lar, when I first began taking Zoloft I noticed that my "tics" had gotten MUCH worse....I always wondered why.......
Exacerbation of tics is a recognized effect of sertraline. Why? Who knows.
>I found this info. below on the Internet BUT, here's the question, does Zoloft possess any of these qualities (the anticholinergic or dopamine agonist qualities)? Thanks for any help!
Not that I'm aware of.
> Agents that worsen tardive dyskinesia
> Anticholinergic agents, Antiparkinson agents (e.g., benztropine), Dopamine agonists, Amphetamines, L-DOPAI'm confused. I associate tics with Tourette's syndrome and some forms of ADHD. What is the connection to tardive dyskinesia?
