I admit I am scared of anti depressants ever since I took Zoloft and was rapidly becoming more and more manic. In two weeks I went from sui depression to not being able to get wet in the shower because of the pacing. My normal hypomanias never get that bad without anti D.

The tremor really messes with my job. I put IV catheters into infants as small as 14 ounces at birth. I take blood from the same infants using tiny butterfly needles. I need to be able to do this without shaking. It would also help to not drop small objects like pens, feeding supplies, etc. I actually had a nursing student that was following me for the day guess I was on Lithium from the particular tremor! (Her dad was bipo and took Lithium for 30 yrs). I don't need more coworkers guessing I'm nuts.

I guess I will tell new person what I told you guys and see what happens.
Thanks for the support- It helps to have friends in the same boat!
