I am on 900 mg of lithium nightly, I have been up at this dose for the last couple of months. Recently I have had problems with my legs, they will get shaky almost like I am going to collapse. This will come out of nowhere I will be normal one moment, then the next moment I am shaking like crazy. I asked my DR about it and she said that she would look into the side effects and get back to me.
Has anybody else ever had these side effects? I googled it and it is common to have hand tremors, but I have not seen anything about the legs..

Did he have your level checked? I would insist on a lithium level.

Could still be the Lithium. Do you have any other symptoms?
