This is a complex medical issue and should be addressed with a Psychiatrist who has experience with Tourettes. There are many medications and supplements that can be tried, but you should pursue this course with a licensed Dr in order to see what works and what doesn't for you.

A number of medications could be considered and many do develop tolerance over time. A neurologist who specializes in movement disorders could handle your needs quite successfully.
