6. Willing to participate voluntarily and sign a written informed consent form.
7. In the opinion of the investigator, the subject is considered likely to comply with the study protocol and to have a high probability of completing the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Medical history consistent with another neurologic condition that may have had accompanying abnormal movements (e.g., Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, Sydenham's chorea, Wilson's disease, Mental retardation, Traumatic brain injury, Stroke, Restless legs syndrome);
2. History of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or other psychotic disorder; intellectual disability or Autism Spectrum Disorder (Level 2 or 3 functioning - requiring substantial social supports or more);
3. Recent change (less than 4 weeks) in medications that have potential effects on tic severity (such as alpha-2 agonists (guanfacine, clonidine or prazosin), SSRIs, clomipramine, naltrexone, lithium, anxiolytics, topiramate, baclofen, VMAT2 inhibitors, ecopipam or compounds containing delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-9-THC) or cannabidiol).

1. Platelets ≤ 75,000/mm3
2. Hemoglobin ≤ 9 g/dl
3. Neutrophils, absolute ≤ 1000/mm3
4. Aspartate transaminase (AST) \> 3×ULN (upper limit of normal)
5. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \> 3×ULN
6. Creatinine ≥ 2 mg/dl
8. History or presence of any clinically important medical condition that, in the judgment of the investigator, is likely to deteriorate, could be detrimental to the subject, or could affect the subject's ability to complete the study.
