Depends: Tics can occur for multiple reasons, including neurological conditions and side effects from certain medications. Often tics can be managed medically, but it is helpful to determine the cause so treatment can be individualized. Lifestyle modifications can also be helpful

Tics wax and wane: Tics wax and wane. They may be transient, but in some cases will last years or permanently. there is no cure. If you are still having tics, speak to your prescriber about an alternative medication.
