Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries
Lithium Carbonate is known to cause tremors. You have discontinued Lithium in Dec 2014 and still have tremors in fingers. In most individuals the tremors decrease in severity after stopping the drug with in 6 months. But in some the fine tremors may persist beyond six months.
The tremors can be controlled easily with medicines like Beta Blockers as Propranolol. Propranolol in 20-40 mg doses daily has been found to control these fine tremors effectively. Pyridoxin or Vitamin B6 has also been found to control these tremors. B6 in doses of 900-1200 mg per day is known to reduce the frequency of tremors. As your tremors are persisting even after passage of 6 months so please visit a psychiatrist for help and treatment. These are not permanent, can be controlled with medicines.
I hope this helps you. Please don't hesitate to ask again for more doubts.
Thanks, Take care.
