Hello! I’ve been recently diagnosed I guess as having a seizure disorder but I’ve only ever had one seizure that I know of on 02/14/18. My neurologist says I’ve been having them but I’m not so sure so now I freak out over and kind of symptom thinking it’s a seizure lol is this even possible? He put me on Keppra and it makes me extremely tired...anyway just wanting to know if anyone has had the same thing happen

If the neurologist ran tests and One was an EEG then yes it is highly possible to have only one known seizure. Has anyone ever thought you were day dreaming? Have you ever been wondering where some time went in your day?? Absence and focal seizures look like the person in them is daydreaming. In absence seizures the person losses consciousness so they will lose time in those seizures. For me in my focal seizures If I was the student that was asked the question I answered it but my response came out when the seizure was over which could have been 10-20 seconds later which is why I was always getting written up for day dreaming in class. I had ONE KNOWN SEIZURE. But had to get signatures on many notes from the teachers. All of those day dreams were focal seizures.As for your medication making you tired. It takes time for your body to get used to the medication. After a few weeks you should be back to yourself.
