Hello,
Post brain surgery patients on anti epileptic medication has to be continued for 6-12 months. If there's is no seizure activity in this period the dose may reduced to half then with in few months it is discontinued. Yet, it is to be under your doctor advice only.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
