I have terrible balance and I’m sure it’s due to my meds. I’m on two antipsychotics as well as a crap-load of Lamictal, and sometimes I sway or stumble over nothing to the point that I appear drunk. It’s embarrassing, and I fall more often than I should. But other than quitting meds—which I’m not going to do—I don’t know what I can do about it. I’m too scared of falling even to try balance exercises.
