Hi @KR, welcome to Taper Community!
Lamotrigine can definitely cause balance issues. That's a listed side effect.
Your doctor - although well meaning - is tapering you entirely too fast. You need to have a discussion with him about tapering more slowly. Tapers should always be patient-led and tailored to what is best tolerated for each person. Everyone is different.
To get doses under 25 mg you would need to cut/crush and weigh the tablets with a digital scale. We can assist you with this.
