When is driving safe for someone with epilepsy?

Personally, I wouldn't mess with his meds. If he's been seizure free for 2 years why would you change his meds. If decreasing his meds I'd wait at least 6 months and preferably 1 year depending on his neurologic exam, EEG & MRI and the consistently of taking his meds.
Take care,
Jake

@jakedduck1 oh because I trust his medical team and that is what they feel is best and I agree.

I agree with you on the situation. Very recently my neurologist’s PA and I decided that although I probably would continue to be seizure free with a lower AED dose, we know my current medication dose works and not to change anything. On my side, the side effects of the medication are worth being able to drive.
Also good to look into state law regarding medication and epilepsy. Some states are very specific regarding medication changes and driving restrictions.
