In Ohio, granted I have never driven, you must go seizure free for at least 6 months.

> Hi everyone,
> I had an appointment today with my neurologist. I haven't had a seizure in 9 months (none since my surgery), and I asked him if he could decrease my dosages. He basicly said that it's my choice. He said I can start decreasing my Keppra 750mg a week. He still wants me on the full dosage of Tegretol (700mg daily). If I choose to wean myself off of Keppra, he doesn't want me driving during that time nor 3 months after. Well, I'm going to drive. I think he knows how I feel about that, but he just had to tell me to take precaution. He said that I have a greater chance of having seizures again because video EEGs showed seizures coming from both temporal lobes (not just the left).

> My neuro also wants me to have another neuropsychological exam in three months. This is a test that was done before my surgery. Why do you think he wants another one? Maybe to compare with the first one (before surgery/after surgery)? I don't know...
