I used to have really ugly tremors, my hands shook, it was very noticable as I couldn't even find my mouth when I lit a cigarette. I had to hold my elbow to steady my hand... Steadily over time, I lost all my fine motor skills.

*Humilliating

If this was the only issue I had had, then I maybeeee wouldn't have been so against a side effect med, but I had much bigger problems than looking like a drug addict.

2 1/2 years after quitting the lithium I haven't made a full recovery, but atleast its not very noticable anymore, unless stressed.
I can even apply nail polish and eyeliner effectively once again.
