It's very good to read that you're managing your condition quite well.

I know of the medication you're taking- Orap, which Is also under the name of Pimozide. It's very effective Indeed.

Ah, Im quite excited about the fact that you know about Pimozide.
When it first started, the doctors implied that I would never get to "live a normal life/ and or get a normal job". Luckily I proved them wrong.

I'd love to know what their definition of "normal" Is.

Predominantly, ongoing medications do not cure a medical Illness, but by no means does It suggest that you cannot live the same lifestyle prior to your condition.

I completely agree. But I was fairly young in the early stages of this condition, so i do not remember/ and or could not understand their point of view at that time.
Yes, it does not cure it and nothing probably never will, but it certainly helps lowering the amount of tics and fallbacks and of course life quality.
Everything that happened back then brought a lot to the table. Anxiety, social anxiety, depression, being a target of bullying. And for that sake, ADHD is a common thing that usually follows people with the diagnose Tourettes Syndrome. So at a young age, there were (and still are) a lot to learn how to bypass and maintain.
