That is a tricky question. The employer could be violating the Americans with Disabilities Act. Are you having seizures and does your employer have any safety concerns for you or your coworkers because of them? If so, the doctor reviews might be reasonable. If you feel that you are being discriminated against because of your epilepsy, you should go see a local attorney and/or the EEOC.
