Nope. EEG right after a seizure is always abnormal
and is useful in defining the kind of seizure. Some with seizure disorder have an abnormal EEG at baseline, between seizures, which can suggest seizure discorders and type of seizure. That is true in my case. My understanding is while some will have a normal EEG between seizures it is common that the EEG is always abnormal., and not be on any meds?

I was told to take all my normal meds, but I was not on an antiseizure med. I know EEG is used to
see if a med is supressing the abnormal electrical
activity, ie if the med is working, so this would
be done while you are on an antiseziure med. It seems like at some point you need a baseline EEG, not on antiseizure meds, a nd most get this in their initial workup for seizures.
