Hi,
The treatment of epilepsy depends on any identifiable causative factor. If there are no causative factors identifiable, it has to be treat with a long term course of antiepileptics. I suggest you meet with a good neurologist and get a MRI scan of your brain to look for any identifiable causes. A thorough blood work also might rule out a few causes. Do not stop your medications on your own and always be compliant with them.
