How did you do with Zyprexa?
I'll be curious to know if your tics get better or worse.
It is a tricky thing to keep a log and remain patient at the same time. My advice to you is that, as much as possible, don't judge your condition 24/7. Putting yourself under such a microscope might cause you to be less tolerant of side-effects and discourage you from waiting the necessary length of time it takes to see the drug work. For depression, AAPs can take a week or less to work. However, it can take weeks before they work for schizoid disorders. Early responses (20% improvement of positive symptoms) are predictive of improved chances for eventual remission.
