I just wanted to ask, has anybody been told to stop driviing because of this condition?

I get a warning that its coming on, but obviously when an attack happens I cant drive at all.

I have just been released from hospital folling another episode and my car is still at work, I cant drive it yet, but as soon as I am fit and well again will do.

So interested to read your thoughts, please

    I am not allowed to drive, have not been allowed for 9 months and until they get mine under control I can't as I lose consciousness without any warning.

    I am currently on 1600mg Epilim but have not gone longer than 4 weeks without a blackout.
