Most people with epilepsy require medication for only a small portion of their lives. With many types of epilepsy, medications can be slowly reduced and discontinued, under a doctors supervision, after a person has been free of seizures for two to four years.
The longer people go without seizures while taking epilepsy medication, the better their chances of remaining seizure-free after stopping treatment.
