Driving with a Hypnic Jerk

I was was recently diagnosed with this condition. It's not epileptic releated but probably a side effect of PROZAC which I recently started. It can also be a result of stress/caffeine related..which I'm prettty sure it's not.

MY BIG QUESTION..Should I be driving with this?? Because I have also been experiencing wanting to "fall asleep at the wheel". I would appreciate any feed back.

Hi hypjerkjohn, Let's just say, I wouldn't want you driving behind me or towards me. The chances of you hurting yourself or others on the road are high. Why chance it.
