Déjà vu: I understand your distress due to recurrent spells. Based upon 3 Normal EEG, absence of neurological symptoms, “Fully Functional”, it is likely that you do not have Epilepsy. At age of 20, you possibly are going through stresses of relationships, separation, break ups, work and finances causing anxiety with Déjà vu. See a Neurologist for Diagnosis After that have Therapy for stresses in your life

Sounds not epilepsy : Epilepsy by classic definition involves repetitive episodes of altered consciousness. Your deja by events do not appear to represent seizures. On occasion migraine can be atypical but not clear that is an answer
