There are some fairly bizarre diagnostic criteria out there, eg you can't get an MS diagnosis until you have had at least two episodes (not even if the first one has absolutely classic MS symptoms), you may or may not get an EDS diagnosis depending on whether a relative already has an EDS diagnosis, etc. So it's possible you're running into one of those with AR and she's refusing to recognise it as a seizure for that reason. At the very least I'd get them to explain that reasoning if you deal with them any more.
With the two drugs and the possibility of seizure, the thinking may be that if they find out which it is overall risk goes down more than if they don't know, even if finding that out includes the risks associated with a seizure. That's asking you to take a risk, so they should be giving you the option to decide, doing a better job of explaining it so you can make an informed choice, and not expecting you to take that in while still experiencing concussion after-effects!
It's definitely something that should be put off until after you're fully recovered, and they should know that. If nothing else, a recent traumatic brain injury introduces an uncontrolled random factor, which invalidates the test.
AR: What do you use for birth control? Me: um… lesbianism?

Okay, that had me crying with laughter.
