Hi my little brother suffers from autism and tourettes. He suffers with severe motor tics and anxiety. I think the tics cause him to be anxious and then the anxiety causes the tics to be worse. But it seems to be more than tics as he now has shakes/tremors, he often looks like he's having a fit he's always arched over I think it's a coping mechanism to help the tics. But I know the tremors are definitely nothing to do with his tourettes. I'm really worried about all the meds they are pumping him with. They have been doing it for alone time and nothing seems to be helping. I will post a list of the meds he's currently on I'm hoping someone can shed some light as we have no idea what he's on and if it might be causing more harm than good. And we are lost with how to help him and he can't go on like this any longer.

Mirtazapine - 45mg tabs - one to be taken in the evening (45mg daily)

Orphenadrine - 50mg/5ml solution - one 5ml to be taken twice daily morning and evening (100mg daily)

Olanzapine - 5mg tabs one to be taken at lunch and two at night (15mg daily)

Sertraline - 150mg one 100mg and one 50mg tablet to be taken in the morning (150mg daily)

Diazepam - 5mg tabs - one in the morning, one at lunch and one at night (15mg daily)

Circadin - 2mg tabs - two to be taken at night (4mg daily).

If there is anyone that knows about medication and wide effects or even why he might be on all of these please comment or message me. I have a meeting with his psychiatrist on Friday and I want to question him about all the drugs but I'm clueless and most of the reviews that come up online are from pharma companies. TIA
