Hello,
welcome to healthcaremagic. You mentioned that many a times your medication was tapered off but due to fresh episode , you were put back on it.This shows, you presently require medicine, may be at lesser amounts but you do need it.What you have been having in last 7-8 mnths could have been fits only,but less severe though. Hence there is need for you to restart the medicine, off course after consulting with your neurologist. And pl do not stop the drug on your own, without the doctors advice.
