HI,I was getting tremor also. It made me nervous because a long time ago when I tried anafranil,
I was told to stop it because of the tremor being
permanent. At this point I really don't care.
I stopped the lithium because I was going to try
ECT, then get on pamelar + lithium. I can't decide if I should get back on the lithium and
higher dose of anafranil, or do the ECT first.
I'm feeling really bad, and getting some psychotic
symptoms. I tried getting on the pamelar + lithium 6 months ago, but several doctors wouldn't
give me the pamelar because they said it was to dangerous or outdated. There so damn worried about lawsuits I guess.Bye,
Dave
