Hello,
EEG report is normal. Does not show any signs of epilepsy. However, one should understand, normal EEG does not rule out epilepsy. I personally feel you need you should follow with your Neurologist and discuss the EEG report. Decision regarding medications should be discussed in detail.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Shiva Kumar R., Neurologist
