Hello,

The feeling of disoriented and loss of body balance indicates possible side effects of Phenytoin sodium in form of:
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Lethargy
- Uneasiness
- Mental status changes
- Tremors

It is best recommended to consult your docTOR and discuss the need of dose reduction of the Eptoin tablet.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
