Default concussion=driving drunk

But these do not happen every day. These symptoms are increased after activity. My pain medications have been decreased. My doctor believes that these are caused by my pain medications but the symptoms are still there even after the decrease. I have tried to do some research on the internet and found post concussion syndrome, but my doctor disagrees. My physical therapist reports that she has spoken with my doctor and I will finally get to see a neurologist. I am expected to try to go back to work on Monday. oh yes this is a workman comp issue. But i am concerned that I will get into another accident as I am dizzy while I am a passenger in the car let alone trying to drive. I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions. Thanks
to add I just practiced driving and my husband says it is like driving drunk. I wish that I was so I had that happy feeling and that I was invincible. Tomorrow ought to be fun
