Am I now Epilepsy over 1 event

thank you for that, i just can't imagine that after taking 2 blood pressure meds within a 12 hour window as a mistake i am now considered epilipsey and on anti seizure meds, and every little symptom i would feel they kept increasing, noone would listen that what if these meds are messing me up because im not epilisey, it doesn't make sense, how they shoved me on keppra which isn't an easy drug to wean off of. How does a drug attic get rescure meds if he seizes and doesn't get put on anti seizure meds, but me that perhaps fainted or have syncope they shove anti seizure meds at me. I'm one to research and i read the studies they perform on 2 groups , 1 epilipsey and 1 normal, the normal group ended up developing sides effects like the ones i have, I bring all those to Neuro but she seems kind and is understanding i think , i just dont know if they mis diagnosed me and now are afraid of law suit, i just want off these meds.

First, it’s tough to sue any medical institutions although law firms will make it sound ever easy. We must remember a doctor wants you to feel better, while the aim of a lawyer is to earn that money. A better option seems to seek a 2nd opinion and see if both doctor’s diagnosis concur. If they do, it’ll give you that peace of mind what you had been put through is alright. And no need to panic and jump to your own conclusions.
Meanwhile, stay calm and may you feel better.
Cheers,
Louis

As has been mentioned, it’s likely that your diagnosis is still pending, particularly since you don’t mention the testing that might confirm or deny an epilepsy diagnosis. If it has not been done or is inconclusive it could be helpful to get that cleared up. Someone else here could comment on the possible testing, from personal experience. I had only a limited few tests because I think they expected epilepsy after the brain surgery.
Again, best wishes as you sort this out.
