For your information  If you have one seizure fine it is over and move on. However one seizure can worph into a cluster of little seizures seizures. If those aren't stopped with a recovery medication the cluster of seizures can them go into status epilepticus;Status is not fun.  Not every person with epilepsy will have clusters but there are many that can. I have a recovery medication which I am to take after the second seizure and it works.
