Epilepsy...It blows chunks?

As the title states I have epilepsy and I'm having some problems.I started seeing a new neurologist because I really want my license back. I've been on meds all along and the last seizure I had was back in 1988.So I have an EEG and MRI for this doctor's records. That was Friday. Today he personally calls me up and tells me he wants me in is office this week because some seizure activity showed up on the EEG. I have a follow up appointment for the 28th but he wants me in the office on Wednesday at the latest. Good grief it's not like I'm flopping around like a fish or anything.My question is has anybody else had trouble with their meds and that cursed EEG? Right now I'm feeling more than a little discouraged and frankly I'm not looking forward to changing meds or adding to the ones I'm on. I figure if it isn't broke don't fix it. I don't like feeling drugged up and sick. What has helped you fellow people who are on anticonvulsants? It just makes me mad that cause a machine says so I have my license and freedom taken away and a bunch of pills shoved at me every time I have an EEG. The hubby is going with me to the doctor and has said he had better have some good answers or else.

Update:

I didn't put the question mark in the title yahoo did. apparently we still have people out there who think this is a condition for others amusement. Not so long ago they stoned us, then they burned as witches and less then a 100 years ago they put us in the loonie bin. Not exactly amusement for us.

    I'm sorry, hon. If this were me, I'd go to a neurologist who gives his/her patients credit for their intelligence, and doesn't report to the DMV. We know when to take ourselves off the road.

    All the best.

    "Epilepsy...It blows chunks?" no pun intended.
