Welcome to the club , take it from a Frenchman with over 46 years history in epilepsy . You are paying too much attention on the negative , driving is not a benefit it is a waste of money in gas insurance maintenance in short your worste investement .
Can you die from Epilepsy , sure , when you compare with the normal population your odds are pretty similar . By the way I went to the funeral of 6 of my own MD . Sound like they all should have been epileptic.
Follow your MD advice take your meds and I will talk to you again in 46 years

Hey sesat13,
It sounds like your having a tough time and beating yourself up a little bit. Don't feel alone, I do the same thing from time to time. A very smart man once told me that life places the heaviest burdens on only those who can carry the weight. Epilepsy does limit certain things in life, but it also grants you the opportunity to REALLY take a look at the beautiful things in life that most people take for granted. Keep your head up!
