  2. Unfortunately this is not epilepsy but a condition called Tourette’s syndrome.
    Tourette's syndrome is a condition that causes a person to make involuntary movements called tics.
    Unfortunately There's no cure for Tourette's syndrome, but treatment can help manage symptoms. Mostly doctors here in UK use antipsychotics to manage the involuntary movement (tics). They use Fluphenazine, haloperidol (Haldol), risperidone (Risperdal) and pimozide (Orap). Tetrabenazine (Xenazine) might be recommended, although it may cause severe depression.
    All antipsychotic drugs work by modifying the effect of dopamine on the brain, specifically by blocking dopamine receptors, mainly the D2 receptor. Dopamine has been strongly linked with Tourette’s syndrome.
    Tourette's is also linked to different parts of the brain, including an area called the basal ganglia, which helps control body movements. Differences there may affect nerve cells and the chemicals that carry messages between them. Researchers think the trouble in this brain network may play a role in Tourette's.
    Much love to these beautiful ladies xxx
