If there have been no episodes of epilepsy in last five years with the anti-epileptic therapy, you may discuss with your Neurologist who may consider tapering the doses and then stopping them depending on how your body responds to the tapered doses.
Next Steps
You may opt for integrated therapy i.e. Homoeopathy medicines along with the ongoing anti epileptic therapyj which may further help tapering down of your doses.
Health Tips
Do Not Stop any medication without consulting your Neurologist.
