my 17 year old son was diagnosed w/Tourette's at 3 years old and this medication has been a life saver for him! Published: April 24, 2008 ::

My daughter who is 7 years old and weighs 48 pounds was put on ORAP because we were told that she had Tic Syndrome. She did fine the first 3 days with 1mlgm. The doctor told us that she need 1 pill in the morning and 1 in the evening. We started the second pill on a Sat. Monday evening we had to call an ambulance because she was not responsive. To make a long story short, we were told by several doctors that she was way over medicated. We were also told that kids under the age of 12 shouldn't be on this medicine, because it is to powerful!!!! To all you parents please research other drugs for children under 12. This almost killed my only daughter. I did all kinds of research and explained to the doctor what I found, and he still told me that she would be fine. Not True! Published: September 23, 2008 ::

I HAVE TOURETTE SYNDROME AND MY DOCTOR WANTED ME TO TAKE ORAB. AFTER TAKING IT FOR 2 WEEKS I STARTED GETTING DEPRESSED AND HAVING MUCH ANXIETY. I COULD NOT CONTROL MY IMPULSES. WELL I HAD TO CALL 911 DUE TO A MENTAL IMPAIRMENT AND JUDGEMENT IN MY BEHAVIOR FROM THIS MEDICIDE. IT DOES CAUSE SUICIDIAL TENDENCIES. THIS IS OUT OF MY CHARACTER. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER MY OWN THOUGHTS. I INTEND TO TAKE THIS TO A CIVIL CASE IN COURT. NO ONE SHOULD TAKE THIS MEDICINE. IT IS NOT WORTH IT Published: July 22, 2009 ::

It only mildly worked, and it caused my 9th grade daughter to have severe diarrhea, it was so thin that it was sliding out without her knowledge. Published: March 11, 2009 ::

Nearly immediately got rid of tics. Tics will rarely "break through" when I get very stressed. Published: February 21, 2009 ::

This drug was given to my 64 year old who has always battled with TS. This drug made her very slow, walked stiff and slow, slow reation time and had memory issues. She is seeking an alternative. From a daughters point of view....I don't agree with Orap (for her anyway). Published: February 01, 2009 ::

My daughter is 11 years old and was diagnosed with Tourettes Syndrome 8 months ago. After watching her tic for hours at a time, I have been very please to see what Orap has done for her. She still has tics, but only when she is stressed, excited or in extreme heat. I have been very pleased with Orap. I feel parents should always be knowledgeable of what their children are taking and take the time to research it yourself because our children are our responsibility. Published: January 09, 2009 ::
