Losing a driver's license w/ simple partial epilepsy?
Thu, 01/11/2007 - 17:06I may have simple partial epilepsy. Has anyone who has this lost your driver's license?
The dr. suggested I have a VEEG test in the hospital. But if I get a dx, then what happens?
I already take Tegretol so it is pretty under control. I have never felt that my driving would be compromised even if I did have a short episode because I'm fully conscious. Feedback anyone?

I was wondering the same thing. (Luckily) my seizures generally happen at night, so I would isolate my driving to the day time, but you never know exactly when the symptoms will occur.hmm...let me know what you find out

It varies from state to state. in Montana (where I live) a person can't drive 3 months after a seizure. there is a whole liability issue here. If you have an accident and you should not be driving, there can be huge issues in lawsuits and insurance and all. I didn't drive from May until October this year..
