Medications: There are medications which can be given to treat tics. Medications approved by fda are neuroleptics with significant adverse effects. Although some antiepileptic and anti anxiety medications can help as well. Its a chronic condition and medication is generally not recommended since longer the use of medication higher the adverse effects.
