Therapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as anxiety as you describe depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.

No guarantee: There is no guarantee that the medications you take will control the tics. Other medications that are more specific for tics such as clonidine, Tenex, (guanfacine) clonazepam and others are alternatives. Speak to your prescriber.
