[Improvement from multiple tics after dexamphetamine].
A case history is presented of a child in puberty with multiple tics, concentration problems and conduct disorder. Contrary to expectations, the tics diminished after neuroleptics were discontinued and dexamphetamine given in an increasing dose. It is thus argued that multiple tics can hardly be regarded as a clearcut neuro-organic hyperdopaminergic disease.
