Seizures and jobs.

I've recently graduated college in the criminal justice field. My dream is to become a part of law  enforcement. I recently got disqualified from corrections and now the police department told me today that they don't take people who are on anticonvulsant medication. I don't know what to do because it seems everything I'm applying for has rejected me because my seizures. I'm a night sezuier but only had 5 seizures in my life and been diagnosed for 18 years. I don't know what to do any options or suggestions?
