Lithium effects: I understand your distress. Lithium is to treat the manic episodes of manic depression. Commend yourself for tapering off of Lithium Carbonate if you did not have manic episodes, or had side effects. Lithium has many Nervous system effects including Tremors. See Neurologist for Diagnosis and Treatment See Psychiatrist for Diagnosis, discuss side effects of Lithium, tapering schedule; Therapy.
