A member asked:

Could an eeg done in a hosital in 1998 have been wrong showing epilepsy if i was on a sleeping pill?

Possibly: That is a definite possibility. If a patient is extremely sedated, the eeg may not show some of the normal activity when awake and alert.

Unknown: A lot can change in 14 years.A sleeping pill would tend to mask rather than show epilepsy.
