Driving and epilepsy

I've had epilepsy since age 15. I'm 48 now. I've driven some parts in life and have been stuck on bus the other half. Finally got an older car and license back and so darn happy to drive again!!!! Did anyone know that valium can stop seizures? I just found that out a few years ago. I'm desperately trying to get prescribed here in Las Vegas but it's near impossible. Does anyone drive? I know how careful I need to be. I will not drive if I dont sleep or dont feel safe enough to drive.
