It was on the 3rd of June that I had stopped lithium completely after a slow taper down from 800 mg.
I hoped to kiss the side effects goodbye, which I have for the most part. What remains are those hand tremors that people ask me about all the time. The mystery remains; which medication is doing this? Some have been added and some reduced. hat I was on as I finished the lithium was: 1) Flupentixol 0,5 mg 2) Venlafaxine 75 mg 3) Setraline 200 mg 4) Quetiapine 100 mg Since then, the quetiapine has been reduced to 50 mg (more or less; playing with the dosage to see which is tolerable) Wellbutrin (150 mg) and Lamictal (starting at 25 mg right now) Perhaps combinations of meds are contributing, but which of these are more likely to cause tremors? __________________ Tic-Tac |

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the first two meds. I can tell you that Sertraline causes me to have tremor. At a dose over 150mg., so does Lamictal.

I'm on 900mg of lithium and 250 of sertraline. I get shakes in all limbs.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
