At age 25 yrs., too old for "petit mal", and more likely you would have complex partial seizures, and/or grand mal episodes. Post-ictal consequences following a seizure are not unusual. Best approach is to have your neurologist reassess your medications and make certain that you have effective drugs in a therapeutic range. Also, discuss emotional consequences. Avoid driving, heights.
