Thank you.

Hi Johndsgirl I was on lithium from the time I was diagnosed (2007) until this year. I was just recently switched to lamictal. Every person is different and it does take time to know if a med will work. For me this is at least 3 months. I had the hand tremors too, but as long as I stayed hydrated I didn't get them. Initially I was put on propanol for the tremors and that stops them. I requested a switch to lamictal because I was having issues with depression.
I would suggest tracking your mood (if you aren't already) and writing in a journal helped me. I would include what I ate or drank because that affects my mood as well. I hope this is a good med combo for you.
