Is this something others have noticed (or am I just getting old?). Also does anyone have any suggestions regarding what to do about it (I probably can't stop taking it). Does it pass?

Yes, my doctor said that I will experience hand tremors due to the lithium, but it should go back to normal with a lesser dosage. Also your thoughts will be slower depending on what else you take as well, but again, will return to normal with a lighter dosage.
