Stopping medication

Question

Stopping medication

Asked for Female, 66 Years

I experienced 3 seizures in the space of one months in 2015 which was an extremely stressful time for me and bit my fingernails till they bled and drank a mixed assortment of alcohol per night which I never did previously. I no longer do these. For six months now I halved my dosage without any further seizures. Is it safe for me to now stop taking my meds - epilim - altogether. I have a rash over the central part of my face and can "hear" movements in my head. I never had these symptoms.
