A member asked:

I started taking orap (pimozide) for my tics but it wanted dose without getting side effects?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Talk to your Dr.: No medication is completely without risk of side effects, unfortunately. However, if your side effects are intolerable, please talk to your doctor. It's possible that you may need a different dose or even a different medication.
