"i was put on deralin for the trembling in my hands- apparently fron lithium. i couldn&#039;t hold a pen, drinking out of a glass would need two hands, water bottle would need two hands. couldn&#039;t put make up on, the shaking could become a style of jerking, i&#039;d hit the wrong keys on a keyboard and got the sack for making mistakes from a temp role.  the gp put me on 40mg o/d - it worked &quot;ok&quot;  then 2 x 40 p/d.  it doesn&#039;t seem to work- i still can&#039;t hold a pen.  it has helped with panic attacks, that- that kick in the guts butterfly feeling has stopped. i don&#039;t feel calmer or much difference.    lithium plus years ago zoloft gave me diarrhea up to 18 times in 24 hour period. i hardly left the house,  well again after settling down to 6 times up to 22 time"
