Depending on the particular drug used, the dose and how it is administered it can potentially cause seizures, but it is very rare. Epilepsy is only when a person has recurring seizures. Anyone can have a seizure in their lifetime. So even if someone got one after an epidural, it might only have once and so they would no be considered to have epilepsy.
