Hi Dear
This is not fair to yourself leaving at the peril of luck at this age. I need to know what type of epilepsy you have, but it is dangerous to roam around without fixing it (you may be driving and swimming, etc.).
In general up to 80% of epilepsy can be treated with the medicine alone. When you start any of these medicine you may feel a bit dopey to start with but over a period of a couple of weeks you will become alright.
best wishes
