@lynnelliott7 So very sorry to hear about your experience. May I ask if those side effects have stayed with you? While researching I found a number of people 'kept' their side effects after going off of the medication—horrible! I have balance problems to begin with, I can't imagine. My PCP also prescribed them but never take anything without research, I've learned the hard way how important it is. Hoping things are better for you.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Unfortunately, I have had the heavy legs and being off balance for a little over a year now. I have them when I get up or if I'm standing awhile. After I walk several steps, I feel my legs get less heavy. I can actually walk 2 miles at 15 minutes each mile. My neurologist wants me to have a second opinion after I finish my second round of physical therapy for balance. It sure gets discouraging.
