Now a days you can find most candies sugar free, Look under the diatetic foods. Or even in the candy aisle. Didn't realize gum made it worse,
If you need to go on a medication that can cause Tarditive Dyskeniia, which in this case may look like another full blown tic on Nick. There are meds like Cogentin that can be prescribed to hopefully offset this. i know there may be other drugs outr know that does the same thing. But way back when I worked in a pysch Hospital and gave out such happy drugs like Thorazine and Haldol. Thorazine is not really given out any more. There are new drugs to replace what Thorazine does. But one of the many side effects to the Meds(psychco tropics given out way bak when was Tartive Dyskineia. And Cogentin was what was given to off set that side effect.
I would have to look at my drug books to see if there is any thing else out there but ask about meds to offset possible side effects.
Good Luck

I know it's not as severe, but Liam has begun lip licking again, and yes I am beginning to think this is no stim, but a tic.

Dee, you just made Nic very very happy!
Awe, I'm thrilled Nic feels better. Yep, at it's worst Liam's upper and lower mouth area can be pretty red and raw. Obviously we are starting a cycle of tic/lip licking.
Liam will be 8 at the end of the month and is a Super Hero Nut!!! How old is Nic again?
Dee
He turned 8 last dec.
As Liam is mostly self contained he only witnesses the really nasty comments at recess, and then he overreacts and the teachers wonder why he drops the F bomb...sigh. Are you closer to SD, SF or LA again?
Dee
Well anytime anyone calls him lipstick boy it's during recess or lunchtime.
