The effect of taking pills optimizes the rest regimen, improves sleep in children and adolescents. If after taking the pills at the acute stage of the disease it was not possible to achieve a positive result, then after a while the treatment tactics are revised.
Drugs can be replaced with other drugs from the category of antipsychotics or anticonvulsants, but only after that how a specialist in the field of extrapyramidal disorders or a psychiatrist will examine the patient and make appointment.
Anticonvulsants or anticonvulsants are used mainly in the 2nd stage of the treatment of eye tics. International practice shows that anticonvulsant drugs are often prescribed after initial treatment, which did not give the desired result.

If treatment is necessary for an adolescent patient who has comorbid attention or hyperactivity), psychostimulant drugs in small doses or antidepressants may be prescribed tricyclic.

In very rare cases, eye tics can affect other muscles, causing loss of control over one part of the face or involuntary closure of the eyelid. In these cases, some tics are treated with Botox injections, which prevent muscle contraction.
