Epilepsy

So I know Epilepsy in aviation is pretty much a no-no. But i'm wondering on how stringent the rules are applied. I had epilepsy between the ages of 11 and 14. I'm 20 now going 21 in a few days and I haven't had a seizure in over 6 years. My neurologist said there was no reason for me to take medication any more and I haven't been back to her since.

I've gotten letters from GP saying that it's ok for me to drive, what would be the procedure for flying. I have a friend who has some lung problems and managed to get accepted into a PPL course with a letter from a doctor.

Is something like this possible with epilepsy?
