Had a seizure for the first time, all tests came back indicating I'm healthy. Driving?
I haven't been to my follow up appointment yet but initially the Dr said tn law says 6 months no driving. Is that set in stone if all of the tests: Blood, EEG, MRI, CT, and heart monitor came back healthy? I'm not epileptic nor have I ever had a seizure before now.
I was on wellbutrin XL 450 mg daily but it wasn't helping and we're nearly positive it caused the seizure as it lowers the seizure threshold. I only weigh 130 lbs.
There has to be something I can do to get back to a normal life and drive again.

Get a second opinion because you may have low blood pressure. This could possibly mean you are border line anemic, which means your body consumes iron and protein faster than it should. I have this, but my "seizures" aren't like typical ones.
For me, when I move from a rested set position too quickly, my vision goes away momentarily. Therefore, I stop what I am doing, and I feel dizzy in my head like the room is spinning I am perfectly still. Fortunately it has never happened when I've been driving.
Then again, what you may have may be completely different. Do get a second opinion.

Six months, no matter how much it complicates your life. That is the rule and it's not going to change because you don't like it. Bo one likes it.
The cause of your seizure is irrelevant.
