I was on Orap for 10 years to control my tics. I was never diagnosed with TS, but was put on the medication at an early age anyways. I gained a lot weight over the years, I was always tired, I was always restless, and sometimes I felt it made my tics worse. When I was 20 years of age, I decided that I didn't like the way I felt and stopped taking the drug cold turkey (not recommended by a doctor). I lost 60 lbs within five months, I had more energy, I was not restless, and I felt free.
