Can you stop taking medication if you don't have a seizure?

Patient's question:

I have had symptoms of epilepsy for five years, but I haven't had a recurrence in the past four years. Can I stop taking medication if I don't have a recurrence of epilepsy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the self-healing time for epilepsy is relatively long. During the period without symptom recurrence, it is better to focus on medication adjustment for a while. It is safer not to rush and stop using the medication arbitrarily. Pay close attention to observe specific symptoms and make adjustments accordingly. This can gradually improve over time. Finally, wish you a speedy recovery.
