If you can stay on schedule with med, keep seizure free, and have your Dr.’s permission, then yes it’s possible.

Be sure to speak with your neurologist about it too, they will know more about it as well.

I couldnt drive for 3 years after 2016, then got my driving privileges back in 2019 for daytime driving only, so you could get them back if your seizures are controlled.
