I have friends that were able to get their license again after they waited a certain amount of time and no longer had sz. If I may ask did your Dr. tell you what type of sz. you are having? I know many people stop having absence sz. and I also know a few people who have had tonic clonic (grand mal) sz. and then they all stopped after awhile and they are driving now. Have faith and don't let it get to you. I will be praying for you that all goes well and that your sz. will stop and that you will be able to get your license again. Wishing you only the best of luck and May God Bless You!
