There's a good possibility that the seizure was non-epileptic. In other words, not generated from the brain. This can be caused from a severe allergic reaction (from food or medication), or maybe from a severe emotional response (maybe lightning or witnessing a murder). You can actually have 2 or more seizures without them being epileptic.
You should still inform the doctor that prescribed the medication. It'll be on your file for the future.

There are many medications that can cause a seizure. I am sure that is the case here and he will be ok. I think that you are completely over reacting here. I am sorry if I am being harsh here but you need to calm down and get over it and be thankful that neither of you do have epilepsy. There are many people like myself on this website that have this happen to on a regular basis and can't live normal lives. I'm sorry that you had to witness you husband have such a horrible seizure but now you have witnessed something that many people unfortunately go through on a regular basis that people do not even take the time to understand and epilepsy is not the only one.
