HI Linkage,
look at
"Indicators Suggestive of Subsyndromal Epilepsy"
http://www.dr-bob.org/tips/isse.htmlyou can find many of your symptoms there.
An interesting thing about Lithium: It is pro-convulsive and is able to trigger seizuers in non epilepsy peolpe (like most ADs) Lithium is also a big no no while doing ECT, because of its pro-seizure capabilities. Lithium + Pilocarpine (a drug working on the cholinergic system) is the most often used way (I think) to induce seizures in various studies. Its called the "lithium-pilocarpine model of epilepsy".
I am not sure about your sympoms. Could it even be psychosis? When you stand or sit still, do you sometimes think you are moving, drifting? Thats one question of a psychosis questionarie. But on the other hand, Lithium should work as an mild antipsychotic. So maybe its a quasi seizure, or something like that.
That was just my personal opinion. The opinion of a non medical professional... But maybe it gives you some new perspectives
take care
Roland
