Can you join the military if you have a seizure disorder controlled by medicine?

There are people in the military who have epilepsy. Some will have developed it after joining and have then had their duties changed. Someone with severe epilepsy would certainly have no chance of getting in. However, someone with minor epilepsy might be able to join, but have restricted duties. Contact your local recruiting office or an army medical officer, or even your doctor. They will have more information.

∙ 14y agoHere are the requirements for the US Army- you did not specify which country, and we get questions from all over:
Epilepsy (345) occurring beyond the 6 th birthday, unless the applicant has been free of seizures for a period of 5 years while taking no medication for seizure control, and has a normal electroencephalogram (EEG) is disqualifying. All such applicants will have a current neurology consultation with current EEG results.

Someone who had it as a child still has it, it just isn't active, sort of. They decide yes or no based on how long it's been since your last seizure.

∙ 14y agoYes. You can get a waiver. If you do, you will not be allowed into any position that has any relation to other peoples health or safety. You would most likely get a lonely desk job.

∙ 11y agoNo. I got medically discharged out for having epilepsy controlled by meds.

∙ 13y agoNo, sadly not I am afraid. Epilepsy, amongst other things, is not accepted by any armed forces.
