In the UK, if you're on anti-epileptic medication, you're not alllowed to give blood. In the US, the rules vary from state to state. There should be no problem with someone with epilepsy donating blood. It is not an infectious disease, so there would not be anything in the blood relating to it. You cannot catch epilepsy from someone else.
