I'm starting to think this is a withdrawal thing. Ive been off my lithium for 2 weeks, and no clozapine for a few days.
Lately Ive been significantly more clumsy than usual. This did not help painting the living room or cooking. Over the course of today I have dropped 40% of the food I planned on eating, and I have spilled about as much liquid as Ive drank. I also dropped the pill I took...twice. So annoying. Anyone else experience something similar due to meds (or lack thereof)? |

I went through all that when I dumped lithium.
It took literally a month to recover about 50% , too get back to normal brain baseline 3 months it sucked I still have a slight tremor. I will never take it again.

I'm very clumsy in the morning.I spill milk all over the place, get coffee grounds all over the floor. I try to get stuff done at night so I dont have to do it in the morning. When I was on clozapine, it was much worse, almost like a hangover.

I have a baseline level of clumsiness. But tiredness makes me so clumsy it’s ridiculous.

Lithium makes me a little clumsy. I notice it in my walk and I have to be careful on steps. I have been known to trip up the steps as well as down them. I would imagine there will be some effect of being off the med. It's probably all or almost all out of your system after the 2 weeks.
I am, in general, a pretty clumsy person though. I have ruined 3 computer keyboards by spilling coffee on them.

I think Lithium added to the clumsiness I have from Tegretol XR. I was weaned off Lithium slowly and didn't notice any increase in clumsiness. Not sure how I would have been if I went off Lithium quickly. Really, as my Lithium was decreased, my quality of life increased.
