Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your symptoms could either be related to seizure medications or due to an unrelated problem. Certain medications such as phenytoin and carbamazepine may cause dizziness and imbalance.
Sometimes, it can be an unrelated problem in the brain or an ENT problem.
Please discuss these with your neurologist.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
