Tics

My previous question was regarding my son motor tics. You aks me if he takes any other medicine, or if he had any other tics.Yes, he did have vocal tics and he has had "sniffing" tics also, but they went away and the motor tics remain and seemed to be increasing. He is taking Lamictal and Focalin XR and so far the psychiatrist thinks that it is not Tourette's. We are going to see a neurologist in a couple weeks. Is there any other help out there or something else that we could be doing. Lamictal is for his mood disorder and Focalin XR is for his ADHD. It you have any insight or answers, we would appreciate it. It is very difficult with the questions and stares from other children as well as even some uninformed adults. thank you again
