I recently wrote an article on transient tics for Redbook. These are Tourette's-like tics that kids get that go away after a few weeks to a few months. I don't know if adults can also develop transient tics, but it's worth asking your doctor. Tics can also be brought on by stress, so seeing a therapist to learn some destressing techniques may work.

I definately have adult-onset tics... involuntary movements and vocalizations. Just wondering if it was Tourettes. And no they didn't develop overnight. First it was some head jerking, then it was the head jerking with the left arm, and the left leg.
