Is Complete Recovery From Hand Tremor After Lithium Cessation Possible?
Brief Answer:
Tremor will subside.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Tremor after Lithium use is a well known feature, but underlying mechanism is not fully understood.
Regarding to literature publications, Lithium induced tremor subsides entirely, but in some cases this lasts months to few years.
Better thing to do is not to worry much more than necessary about it.
I remain at your disposal for further questions or clarifications.
Best regards.
