Hello,
Three antipsychotics are not recommended for any of the illness. Your problem imbalance and loss of coordination are most probably due to the side effects of antipsychotics. These drugs can cause extrapyramidal side effects which include tremors, imbalance, incoordination, numb face etc.
Please talk to your treating doctor about this.
Thanks.
