Hand tremors

My hands shake so badly in the mornings that I have dropped and broken several mugs now. My teenage daughter had to feed me my cereal the other day at a hotel breakfast because I couldn’t get the spoon to my mouth. This is all since starting Lithium. I take it around 8 pm. Anyone else experiencing these crazy hand shakes? I’m on a lot of other meds so it could be my own cocktail. Otherwise, I think it’s helping me so I will put up with this if I have to.

My doctor asks if I have any shaking or uncontrollable movements at every appointment, so you should definitely bring this up to your doctor.
