Hi,
You have not mentioned what kind of seizure you suffered and the year of last episode of convulsion you experienced. You have been taking this medicine for quite many years .The jerks which you mentioned need to be be discussed with your docter because they could be the side effect or uncontrolled sezuire activity.If this is a side effcts the you need to get your investigation like EEG done again to see if the seizure activity persists if its not then there could be a possibilty of stopping the medication but only under strict supervision of your docter.
Bye
