DS2 (19) is on Sertraline for anxiety.He also has OCD and autism and has has sadly had a mental health crisis recently. His sertraline has been doubled to 100mg.. he was previously only on 50mg as he is quite light.
The new dose appears to be helping a bit already..a week in, but I noticed today that he has developed a facial tic..a sort of sideways grimace. Googling suggests that this isn't uncommon, but I wondered if anyone has experience. He is also grinding his teeth at night REALLY badly!
Obviously if he needs it for his anxiety then I suppose side effects are worth it, but I wondered if it will settle as his body adjusts to the new dose or not. He is unaware of it (due to his autism I think!)
Thanks.
