I religiously provided the state of Ohio with a physician's notice for five years, through 2020. They monitored me for a week, with 24/7 EEG, video cameras, and vitals, and at the end of the week it was determined that I no longer needed any seizure medication, and that I was unlikely to ever have a seizure again.
In 2015 I underwent a weeklong hospital stay at the Cleveland Clinic Epilepsy Center for clearance. I was never diagnosed with Epilepsy, and was specifically told that I do not have a diagnosis of epilepsy as I would have needed more (I believe 10 or more) seizures to qualify for an epilepsy diagnosis, and that my seizures were acute and resolved on their own after the head injury.
(I see now I may have been either ill-informed or sorely mistaken). My understanding at the time was that this would be the case for five years, and then thereafter, I would no longer need to continue this process. I was informed by the Cleveland Clinic Epilepsy Center that once a year, I would have to provide a Physician's clearance that I was safe to drive to the state of Ohio. I had four more seizures thereafter, the final one in 2014. In 2013 at the age of 20 I had a head injury that resulted in a seizure.
