Big shocker: Having a first time seizure is a big shocker. He may be feeling bad due to the seizure, due to what co-workers saw, due to his medications...or a combo.

Seizure Rx plan: A lot of people who have had a seizure do not find the cause with tests. The tests are needed so that the people with treatable causes are identified. The next step is to consider whether medication is needed to prevent seizures, even temporarily, and to be certain the seizures do not return before we return to driving.
