Continuing the discussion from Effects of various antipsychotics on driving-related cognitive performance in adults with schizophrenia :
I don’t drive, but driving is an important part of life for many of us. How do the APs affect you re driving? How do you deal with them re driving?

I got stopped from driving for two years by my old doctor.
Was not impressed.
These doctors don’t have to live with the consequences of taking a license off someone
Lately I can’t drive. It’s not that I don’t have concentration or skills or anything. I just can’t. As I can’t walk sometimes
I get drowsy in the morning so I am carefull with driving. I only drive when I feel up to it. I avoid applying for jobs where you have to drive a forklift because I think it’s easier to cause a work accident compared to driving a motor vehicle in my experience.

My strabismus and bad depth perception contributes more to my bad driving ability than antipsychotics. Its hard to drive at night.

My sisters dogs painkillers come with the warning ‘do not drive on this medication’. Lol

I don’t have any problem with driving. Been driving off and on since I was 17 and had a few accidents but only one was my fault and nobody got hurt.
I used to drive 200 miles to Sacramento by myself and back 200 miles.
It could get stressful but that was only because of other drivers.
It’s funny, I was just thinking the other day, that I haven’t got a ticket in more than four years, that’s a record for me!
