Actually yes. I went through a prolonged period of significant balance issues. I couldn't even stand on my toes or kneel, really. That was extremely odd for me having been serious into ballet and other dance, before it. I stopped riding my bike. At one point, I also wondered if I was developing MS. I wasn't.

Exactly what caused the above, I am not certain. My memory is fuzzy about those times. Whether it was one medication causing it or the combo of them, I am uncertain. Could brain injury from episodes also have played a part? I was definitely experiencing some strange s*** during that time.

If I must speculate, I think my huge dose of carbamazepine ER, at that time, might have played a part. Maybe Lithium, too, especially when I took 900 mg with 1,400 mg carbamazepine. I don't believe Lamictal would have been an issue, mostly because I recall taking ballroom dance classes while on 300 mg of that, with no balance problems. But I also took 100 mg Lamictal at the same time as both Lithium and carbamazepine. Overkill? I don't believe my antipsychotics were to blame, but who knows. I was on two of them at that time, too.

My past balance issues may have even dated back to Depakote ER. I was even at my heaviest on that med. Twenty pounds more than I am now. That likely wouldn't have helped. Come to think of it, I lost almost 40 lbs when I was taken off Depakote and Invega. I remember my balance improved a lot after the weight loss. Then gradually worsened a little on the Lithium/carbamazepine, etc. Nowadays I only take 600 mg carbamazepine ER, not 1,400 mg. I now also still take 100 mg Lamictal and 600 mg Seroquel XR. As said, my balance is good now and my legs much stronger.

Sorry for the long response. I had to think this through.
