Hi Stacy,
I would encourage you to talk to your doctor, and see if it could be related to you having night-time seizures. my youngest daughter had the same problem, and it was always during a night time seizure, or when she was very sleep deprived. I have also had the same thing happen during a seizure - and I know how embarassing it can be.
however, your neuro should be very understanding of this, as it is not uncommon during a seizure to lose bladder control. If it is a part of your epilepsy, maybe you need a different drug to better control the E. If not, I'm sure the neuro would be able to refer you to a doctor to help get to the bottom of the problem.
Know that you are not alone, and I know how hard this must be for you at your age. PLEASE, bring it up to your doctor!
Blessings,
Barb
