Hi. I really don't want to scare you but my mother -who was manic depressive from age 30 to age 60- has been treated on lithium for 1/2 her life. About the movement disorders: besides from the tremor, she did "well" for the first 10-15 years but eventually developed acute akathisia (she HAD to keep on pacing all the time) and diskynesia (mostly strange mouth mov.). Obviously we don't know but I think the EPS can come from ANY meds -it depends on every person and his/her meds storyline.
Good luck,
A-2
