Just tired - advice and a shoulder needed!

Nyasha

VERY LONG - PLEASE READ!

So since 2016 April I've had a weird shoulder tic that's followed by a gasp of breath. The doctors in my local hospital didnt know how to explain it and it gradually just quieted down by itself and was rare, only really coming out when I was upset or anxious.

Cut to a few weeks ago when it started coming in rapid succession as it had in 2016 and making me unable to do even basic tasks. Went to the hospital again but fortunately or unfortunately the wait was so long that by the time I went in to see the doctor I was fine ish.

I booked an appointment with my GP (didnt do this first as I've just moved and didnt have one yet) and was given a phone consultation where he thought it was just anxiety (from where I cant tell you) and prescribed me antidepressants/anti anxiety medication. But they take 4 to 6 weeks to effectively kick in and havent been working so far....

I've now developed 3 new tics on top of the two I had. One is a head nodding action. The other is scrunching up my nose and the last is I kind of flick my hands. I've booked an in person appointment now but I just want to know if anyone has ever had anything like this. According to my research it's probablynnot tourettes as that usually comes with a vocal tic. Although the gasp could be seen as vocal. Even just someone to chat to at this point would be welcome as I'm just so exhausted and cant really speak to anyone about it and although I'm smiling I am very scared for my future..
