Does anyone here have experience of being told they may have what's known as partial/ focal seizures and being prescribed keppra what DVLA had to say about this when informed and is keppra for life or temporary fix? So confused with all this.

Hi I have focal seizures following intracranial bleed. I haven't been able to drive since my diagnosis.

I was taking Keppra initially but had to be taken off due to one of its common side effects.

Anti epilepsy drugs may/not be permanent depending on the stability of seizures I think.
