Liberty,
I feel alot like you,I quit in '98 after I totaled my second car.My cars were
rebuilt over and over again becoming totaled.I'm lucky that no crash was with
another car.If so,that person might tell their lawyer that I was leaning over
the steering wheel with my tongue out before the crash.An attorney could check
my medical records and decide that I shouldn't have been driving in the first
place.Then sue the __ out of me.My doctor never reported me.DMV would've
removed my license,but I'm lucky to still have it,but I won't buy another car
until two times what my state requires me to be seizure free.If I'd
waited just a day longer and after a seizure after redriving,I'd decide I
should've waited longer.

As the others have said, I believe you need to follow the doctors instructions.
I have not driven in over 8 years. My license has not been revoked, though by
law am not to drive. I am 36, married and have 2 kids. It is one of the hardest
things to deal with. I chose not to drive earlier because if I was to hurt
someone, their family or mine it would be something I could not live with. My
husband works full time and anytime I (or our kids) need to go somewhere I have
to work around his schedule or choose not to go. Over time things get much
easier and are able to live with it. I wish you good luck in everything.

Liberty
