Most likely but time will tell. I also depends on how long you have had it and the age of onset. You cannot give us too much information.

Your information is too scanty and vague. Some epilepsies burn out following adolescence, but others evolve into different patterns. See a neurologist, have an updated EEG, and make certain you will NOT require medication in the future. Until full clarification, avoid driving, activities at heights, use of power equipment, swimming, or bathing alone.
