I was recently was diagnosed with BP1 disorder, and am taking lithium, prozac, and trazodone. I am also pretty deep into an alcohol addiction, which I'm tapering off from (it's going fairly well).

So here's the strange part. As I have been drinking less, the hand and arm shakes have been more extreme. I can't sigh things, much less hold a pen.

So one day I was having a waking dream, or just a hallucination, and I was watching my life and then a tube changed and my shakes and sweats went away. Not over weeks, days, or even hours. One second to the next. And since they went away, they have not come back.

Has anyone experienced this? I'm not a God believing kind of person, but I have no explanation for this.

Help?
