I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
The best way to evaluate treatment success is the frequency of the seizures, if she has had no more seizures for 6 months and hasn't experienced any side effects from medicine then treatment is considered successful. Treatment must be continued for at least two years before gradual weaning is considered (assuming she doesn't have any more seizures).
I hope to have been of help.
