I have Tourette's Syndrome (and Asperger's, ADHD, Bipolar, and OCD) and I was wanting to know if HRT would have an effect on my tics. I mean, it does make sense that hormonal changes could exacerbate my tics. Does anybody else on here have Tourette's (or any of the other conditions I mentioned), and if so, how did the hormones affect you?
Blackwaters,
I can speak to this as a M to F person with a minor form of Tourette's. I have seen no difference after a year of being on hormones with regard to Tourette's. I never know what triggers it to make it worse, but hormones didn't.

I have Aspergers and I've been on HRT since May. So far I haven't noticed any changes such as it making my tics any worse. Though I haven't been on hormones long. But I believe you should be okay starting HRT. If you have any major concerns you may want to considering asking your local endocrinologist.
