How to stop the medication for epilepsy

The main criterion for epilepsy cure is to observe its clinical presence or absence of seizures. Treatment of epilepsy requires the selection of medication according to the patient’s form of onset and the cause of the disease, and the specific duration of medication according to the response after medication. If there is no recurrence of epilepsy during the medication period, the patient can start to reduce the dosage around 3 years, and the dosage should be reduced slowly and gradually for six months. However, if the patient has another clinical seizure during the course of medication, such as a seizure after 2 years of medication, the date should be recalculated from the day of the seizure and taken for another 2.5-3 years. If there is a seizure during the dose reduction is also treated in a similar way, to recalculate the time from the day of the seizure.
