Thanks for the query
I understand your concern
The most likely cause of seizure in your case is a healed brain infection. You need to continue it for 2- 3 years and after that get one EEG (A TEST WHICH CAN IDENTIFY THE RISK OF HAVING SEIZURES) and if it is normal, medications can be withdrawn gradually.
Let me know in case you need any help
