You need to see a Medical Provider time now to see if the seizures alone qualify you for continued service.

I wouldnt think that in your situation be prescribed medication to take and actually taking it is different. You were prescribed medication for a medical condition that you have. Regardless of you taking the meds or not, you still have said medical condition. The real question is, can you still serve if you get seizures. I would strongly suggest that you take any medical advice that you receive on a social media platform with a grain of salt.

Medication won't get you kicked out but having repeated seizures will.. Take your meds

I had a soldier in 89 - 90 who stopped taking his meds because he thought he would get into trouble with unit for having to go to medical regularly for his epilepsy. He had too many seizures and lost his license. We were in a TRADOC unit. The unit had no problems with soldiers taking care of their medical, personal, educational, etc. needs.
