Driving With epilepsy?


I was searching in Internet about people with that can drive , And says that they can if the epilepsy is control.
I only thing I feel is just allot heat , and some times panic.
that's all.But I Doc says no. I know people that are taking same medication and they are driving.

Yes when some times I drive respect the side effect of medication , because I know what I feel.
So don't put my life on risk

Most doctors will tell you that if after 6 months, without experiencing any seizures or seizure related symptoms, that you can drive.

Everyone's body responds differently to different medications. If this one doesn't work for you, talk to your doctor about switching meds.

It all depends on the severity of the epilepsy and the side effects of the medication. My friend has epilepsy but she can drive because her epilepsy is completely under control and she doesn't suffer any side effects from the medication she is on

As long as you don't have a seizure for either 6 months or a year (can't remember what it is). Then you are allowed to drive.
