How To Stop Facial Tics? At Least I Think That Is What It Is…?

I have a very horrible, annoying habit of squinting and wrinkling my nose. I read up on facial tics and I understood them to be involuntary. I try not to do it, but I always end up doing it, and I look silly. Would this be considered involuntary? I just want to know how to stop it. It’s embarrasing. Home remedies or herbal remedies have never worked for me. I am on medicine right now for bipolar and OCD, maybe this is the cause. Or, does anyone know of a solution?

    So far as I have read there is no “cure”. These tics will be more pronounced when you attempt to avoid them. The avoidance creates a heightened level of anxiety/pent up energy. Your body will inevitably release it. When it does the added anxiety of failure worsens the tic. Tourette’s is often co-diagnosed with OCD.
    I am in the process of being diagnosed. Possible ADHD/OCD.

    look into the choices for people with Tourettes. My nephew is on a medicine that lowers blood pressure, and works very well to inhibit tics. (clonipine, I think)

    I watched this program on A&E about teret syndrome and people who do have it one of the main things they have and can’t stop is facial tics. All people think terets is the uncontrobable cussing desease but it has a variaty of reactions. Check with your doc and find some answers. Sorry to hear that though. Good luck.

    has your doctor considered turrets syndrome{ sorry i spelt that wrong} Its a disorder that causes facial ticks.are you in therapy,do you find that when you are under stress the ticks happen more?I would write when it happens and what was happening at the time.It could be triggered by stress.perhaps your on the wrong medication.I hope this helps you a bit and good luck
