If indeed you have: Epilepsy, i.e., multiple seizures, would urge you to take medicine to prevent the events. Depending on your seizure type, different medicines may be selected. There are broad-spectrum drugs such as depakote, but as a female, adverse events might be a problem, especially if you wish children. Lamictal is used frequently, and might be considered. Final choice based on your individual needs.
