FAQs about psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES)
Should I be driving if I have psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES)?
Driving issues should be addressed with your doctor and will likely need to be consistent with your state laws for seizures.
In most states, regardless of what the cause is, if someone loses consciousness or awareness or loses control of movements, there are regulations that require a certain time period of symptom freedom (epileptic seizure or PNES episode) before the person is allowed to drive again. Because PNES symptoms can be so variable, this should be discussed with your doctor.
