Hello,
I am afraid we are unable to answer individual medical enquiries on this forum.
There are different forms of epilepsy and it would only be after a review of your medical records, which would take into account your specific diagnosis, the medication you have been on, how long you have been seizure free, and how many seizures you have had, that a decision could be made.
It is likely you would need to have had at least several years (possibly longer) seizure free without medication to be eligible. And even then, not everyone will meet the criteria I'm afraid.
