Mine have made me reluctant over the years to do things like bicycling, which I loved in the past. Even when I have danced, my footing is not on the money. That's a real problem, especially when doing ballet moves.

Several years back, my balance was very notably affected, but that was on Depakote ER (divalproex sodium) and not carbamazepine. I couldn't even plie or squat without falling, or nearly falling.

I may have had mild dizziness early in my carbamazepine treatment, but it was years ago. Diplopia didn't help.
Got it. Yeah, my vertigo is of unknown origin. Dad has it. I also have two other aberrant cranial nerves (VI and VII) and have often wondered if my vertigo, an VIIIth cranial nerve disorder, is not, in fact, yet another manifestation of my broader global neurodysfunction. Yes, I have. Prolly need to snag a quickie biopsy of it to know for sure. Love to do thar!

Be super cautious, friend. watch every step.Hugs.u
