I had 2 seizures when i was 16 while taking a sleeping pill called phenabarbital after stopping this pill i never had any again am i epileptic or not ?

Epilepsy: No, since it was associated with a medication. See a neurologist to have an eeg to determine if any abnormalities are present. If you have another seizure though you will likely need to be on seizure medication.
