> Are you saying that Lithium permanently induced agitation and tremor in you?
Yes, the effects seem to be permanent, or at least semi-permanent. I'm not saying it'll happen to most people who take lithium, but somehow, it happened to me.
> How long were you on it, what dose, and how long have you been off it?
I was on it for about a year and a half at doses ranging from 900 to 1,200 mg/day. I've been off of it for more than four years. I should add that the agitation and irritability aren't as severe as they were right after I discontinued the lithium. These side effects seem to have eased up some over the years, but they haven't completely disappeared.
