See www.drugs.com and http://crazymeds.us which both have good info on lithium, which is generally used as a mood stabiliser, but can produce tremors, if taken in overdose. Note: some people need up to 30 times the dose that another may need to be effective, and although those prescribing usually tend to start off at a low dose, this may still be too high for a small number of people. There are many other factors which control the amount of lithium in the bloodstream, including salt, and water intake, as well as high temperatures and humidity levels causing profuse perspiration and rapid loss of salt, and water, and therefore the increase in lithium to toxic levels. Also check out Depakote, and Lamictal. See section 10, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris and also the page on bipolar chatsites, to increase your chances of getting even more useful information on the subject.

What does lithium do if you're not bipolar?

Depending what other medications you are taking Lithium will work the same way. However Lithium is note just for bipolar affective disorder is can in certain circumstances be used for other conditions. Try to think about it like this; if you have a sore head you might take some pain relief (Tylenol etc) if you have a fever you might also take Tylenol. When you have the fever you might not have a sore head, the Tylenol will help the fever but because your head isn't in pain there is no need for it to act on it. Lithium is the same, if you do not have bipolar there is no need for the anti-manic action of Lithium BUT if you have other symptoms that may need Lithium then it will work on them. Remember if your taking Lithium to look after your kidneys and be familiar with the signs of Lithium Toxicity.

The symptoms you mention (nodding of the head, slowness of movement, tremors, stiffness of large joints, shuffling gait) are more commonly associated with Parkinson's disease, a neurological condition affecting movement. While brain tumors can cause a wide range of symptoms depending on their location, these specific symptoms are not typically seen as primary indicators of a brain tumor.
