I've never taken any antipsychotics. By uncomfortable I mean it just doesn't feel good. I feel weak, and it's distracting, but it's not painful or debilitating. But I hate feeling shaky.

I can\t see Lithium causing it at that dose, although, certain drugs their boost blood levels of the Lithium.It does seem weird given the low dose of lithium, so I suppose an interaction could be going on. Any theories?

> I don't believe it is psychosomatic...I definately believe their is a definite biologic factor behind it. Maybe drop the Lithium for a day or two and see how you feel?Thanks. I didn't take it last night, and I'll likely not take it tonight. It's a shame, though, because even at such a low dose, I did have a positive response to it. Maybe something can be lowered or even dropped and I'll still feel good? It's so complicated.
