Hi @tjbuch61, Good Morning
For security reasons (thinking of me and others) I have stopped driving. I have had epilepsy for 36 years without knowing it and thankfully I have just caused a small accident during a mild complex partial seizure (I have temporal lobe epilepsy), hurting no one. I thankfully live in a neighborhood where I can do much on foot. When I need to go to a place by car, I take an Uber. I do not drive anymore in any circumstance as I still do have some seizures. My doctor once said to be completely secure, one has to be 2 years free of seizures to drive again with security.
As to your question, I know that some other medications can interfere with the anticonvulsant meds we take, this is something that needs to be checked with your doctor. Seizures can have many triggers such as stress, fear, women's period, little sleep, and flashing lights, food containing gluten, among many others. It depends on your type of epilepsy. Through a daily journal, I have discovered my greatest triggers that lead me to have a seizure, avoiding them as much as I can. The Epilepsy Foundation has great material on it. Have a look!
Have a nice Sunday!
