Neuro Medical Clinic, Mall Road, Saddar, Rawalpindi · Dr. Umar Zafar Ali, Neurologist & Medical Specialist
A young man with obsessive behaviour and multiple motor and vocal tics. Received treatment from various places with no benefit.
Aripiprazole, a new generation antipsychotic, because of partial agonist at dopamine receptor has advantage over others anti psychotics in movement disorder. A combination of paroxetine and aripiprazole completely resolved the tics in two weeks.
Little and often beats one long session. Keep to the stated frequency for at least two weeks before judging whether it is helping, and stop any movement that causes sharp pain rather than working through it.
Symptoms are worsening, waking you at night, spreading to a new limb, or unchanged after four weeks. Walk in during clinic hours — Monday to Saturday, 11:00 am to 06:00 pm — and bring this guide and any reports with you.
A question about your own case is better answered by the doctor than by a guide. Message the clinic with your name and file number.
