Maybe: Keppra (levetiracetam) is an anti-seizure medication. You may have had a seizure. This is a conversation you should have with your physician.

hard to say: The diagnosis of epilepsy rests upon more than an eeg. So, it's hard to answer based upon the info at hand.

Not enough info: Please ask this question of your doctor, who knows the details of your history and has seen your eeg and other tests. No doctor here can possibly give a meaningful answer to your question with the limited information we have!
