@*Beth*, I hope you will give the new med a fair shot. Perhaps the balance issue will ease as you adjust to it. I think most meds need at least three weeks before a firm judgement should be made. I've experienced some that took months for side effects to subside. Sometimes I learned it was worth the wait in the end. Patience does suck most of the time, though. Dang, have I had to learn it in my life!
