Results According to rating, resulted significant reduction, but rebound. Patients also reported They erroneously believed absolute reduction 20 30 min paradoxically felt relative change. Premonitory remained unchanged. There was correlation between severity. The potency inhibition did not correlate ADHD inhibition. Conclusion In adults TS, rebound, later course study. This misjudgement as well patients' often (mis-)belief may caused by overall difficulties reliable rating. unchanged Tic influenced deficits. are prerequisite
