I was in a study back in the mid 70's for lithium.. Lithium would sometimes break a cluster for a few days and then i would have break thru's. I had all the side affects you described and it was lack of potassium. I found that when I got those tremors, a glass of V8 juice would take them away. It's potassium you need. Try eating a bannana. After a few years of "fast on" "fast off" method, i just gave up on lithium. The side effects were not really worth it. But i had chronic CH for 17 years. Never a true break.
