I try to avoid driving. When I must, I will only do so at certain times of day. I find that when I first take my medications my eyesight and reaction times are significantly impaired. By midday this seems to improve to the point I feel more comfortable - and safer.
Good idea. I do want to rush back into driving but need to be safe. I am reducing my Benzo intake then will be assessed by my pdoc on Wednesday. Need to get back to work and long to be back home in my flat rather than stay with my wonderful parents. I want my independence back but must be patient.
