As someone who suffered for years with mostly nocturnal seizures but have experienced numerous focal seizures it’s beyond beyond scary. I never had any aura or warning regarding my focal ones (obviously the grand mal during the night I didn’t have warning but payed the price heavily after each one) but it is beyond scary that one blacks out and time goes on and I’ve continued having a conversation and doing things while it happened and I never had any recollection at all. Each seizure whatever type was scarier and scarier and scary it horrible damage to my body that if I didn’t have surgery probably would have taken my life.

The surgery cured you?

its the same poster (who's also the OP). for me, just being allowed to drive would make it worth taking the medicine being that it poses such little risk and is completely safe

My husband is allowed to drive since he doesn’t lose consciousness. (Although I’m not very comfortable when it happens during driving.)

I drive too. I was told to stop driving while taking the tests but after I was able to drive again.
Sienna is just trying to figure this out and gathering as much info as she could don’t worry.

There are a ton of variables in epilepsy. If one doesn’t lose consciousness and can continue controlling the wheel there’s no reason not to be allowed to drive. It happens while he walks as well without him losing his balance.
