Aps and driving

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 don’t have any problems driving. I have many automobiles.

My AP’S don’t cause drowsiness so I can drive ok

I don’t have any problems driving either.

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.

I need eye surgery but need an ophtalmologist and its corona time now.

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!
