You can't donate: at most centers because of your diagnosis (the procedure they use to obtain plasma will remove your seizure meds). Most plasma donation centers will not let you donate after they take you back for your initial examination and complete the review your medical history and medications. Furthermore, you will spend about one to two hours at the plasma center before they get around to rejecting you.

Give donation a try: Sounds like you are interested in plasma donation. This could help some nice folks. Why not give it a try? Neither of the reasons you gave is a reason not to go into the clinic. There are reasons people cannot donate, you will be evaluated for them there before you are approved. Your medicines should not be a factor. You will not end up spending hours with drug addicts unless you choose to.
