Through my Epilepsy, my meds are what makes my balance off

Sometimes it happens. I will have to pause after i get up because i may have balance issues. I know it happens with some medications i have had in the past.

Yes, I have complex partial seizures. Before starting of convulsions, I loose complete control of body. After convulsions stop, I am able to do same as I was before seizure, disorganized or unknown for a little bit.

Hard to know if epilepsy, medication or low BP. Or maybe standing up too fast. Will pay closer attention.
