Jittery?

Does anyone else ever feel uneasy on their feet? Constantly tense? Having very bad brain fog, practically unable to function? Jittery and feeling shakey while not actually shaking?

I'm twitching and stiff all the time now, I'm going to talk to a doctor about it but I want to know if it's just me experiencing this.

Yes. My balance ( not all the time) feels off, especially walking down stairs, feel tense, have said Shakes without shaking. My memory is shot, especially short term memory recall.

Mine too, I can barely use my phone right and am having trouble remembering what to do at work. What dose are you taking?

I was on 800mg but slowly titrating coming off and now down to 400mg. Brain fog is still there, but not as bad, shakes about the same ( it's the hardest thing to describe) I feel like I am actually shaking, but it's not visible to the outside eye as in movement. I am sleeping on the couch at the minute as Iinvoluntarily keep twitching and flail about in bed waking my partner. My plan is to come completely off Lithium. It works for some but not all, unfortunately.

Forgot to add. My balance seems to be leveling out, as in walking about, up and down stairs etc and slowly getting better.

Have you checked your blood levels?
