A member asked:
I am 40 yrs old and have a problem of head/neck jerking. this has started at age of 12 yrs (i guess). is it a tic? if so please give me a medication.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tic medication: Most of the time, unless the tic interferes with daily life function, the potential side effects are worse than the problem. If the problem is getting worse, you may want to see your primary care or neurologist for treatment options. They will do further testing to see what medication is best.
