Default Epilepsy and flights

I am an epileptic and have been for 20+ years. My seizures have been under control for several years with the help of Depakote. I haven't had any seizures many years. My girlfriend tells me i should not fly, but only articles i see about not flying as an epileptic are if i am a pilot or my seizures are uncontrolled. i have been on a plane for 6 hours with stops without issues. I am wanting to fly 16-20 hours to fly overseas with stops. One doctor that maybe isn't a neurologist says all epileptics should fly with a doctor and only short distances but i disagree. What can you say about this and do you have some documentation? and how many hours are ok in bus and train?
