Hi
Welcome to HealthCareMagic
Anti epileptic medicines ( medicines for seizure) once started are usually given for 2 years before considering to stop them , Never never these medicines should be stopped abruptly , because it may trigger a seizure.When these medicines are stopped after 2 years , they are gradually tapered before stopping them .So you should continue medications as prescribed by your doctor, do a regular follow up , and should stop only on advise of your doctor.
Hope I answered your query.
