Hey doctor I have focal epilepsy i haven’t had anything about a year, when i did had one it would be when im sleeping and my arm or leg would be numb for a few seconds id be aware. Can I still get a cdl?

I’m looking to get my cdl in the future. I’m currently 45 years old at 2 years old I was diagnosed with grand mal epilepsy. I was off and on Dilantin and tegrytol during my child hold. My last seizure was at age 12 and have been off medication 2010. I could have stopped taken it sooner because my neurologist at the time told me the Dilantin was doing more damage than good but I kept taking for a year until I felt comfortable being off of it. I don’t know if my seizures are classified as provoked but I remember at 11 years old I had an seizure on the train and I was told at first it was triggered by me looking out the window of the train but my neurologist back at home says was because I had an infection and a fever. Would I qualify for cdl and if so do I need to go though a board and how would I get the process started?

Hello Doc I’ve have DVT and have to take Xarelto forever does that disqualify me from driving CMV?

[rahmiyilmaz]

More than 15 years ago, I had a seizure once. I have been using medication since then and I have never had a seizure and it was a mild seizure. Can I get a CDL?

[deathlord]

Well that sucks I can’t get my CDL anymore

[TherealSUPREMETROOPA]

So if I take primidone 4 essential tremors and I have no history of seizures this would not necessarily disqualify me
