Shocked

I am 52, and the first seizure I had was 4 years ago and came out of the blue. I was at work, and the next thing I knew I was on the floor with a group of people looking at me. I had another grand mal seizure 6 months later. At first my doctor said it was due to the Wellbutrin I was taking. Now, 4 years later, my EEG’s are still abnormal even though I’ve had no more seizures. I’m scared that I will have another seizure when I’m driving, etc. I try to get all the sleep I can in order not to be sleep derived and to risk having another seizure. I’m frustrated with the fact that the cause is unknown and that it could happen again without warning.
