Barb, I am a retired psychiatrist and have a great deal of experience in prescribing Lithium for psychiatric reasons. I am aware of Dr. Lang's use of it for cramps via my good friend Bill Harshaw. The advise you have gotten so far is good. Tremor especially a fine tremor is common for Lithium. However the danger comes from symptoms such as diarhea. excessive thirst, nausea and vomiting and confusion. The tremor probably means that the dose is higher than optimum. Are you taking it 1 or 2 times per day or more often. The standard dose usually is between 900-1500 mg/ day for mania. Check with your doctor to be sure.
