I had that experience with Remeron (a feeling that my body was "following" me by just a split second). I also feel like that when my blood pressure is a little low (if the diastolic number goes below 120). Also felt like that a little with my recent Trileptal trial. You could check your resting BP when this thing seems to occur the most and see what it is. Lithium affects electrolytes that might be contributing. Try some Gatorade (get some extra sodium/potassium in ya).
