Hi icedcoffe

It’s great that you’ve been seizure free for so long. If your doctor has suggested weaning off your medicine, it’s likely they think the risk of having another seizure is low.

You might find our information about stopping medicine useful. This shows the things your doctor should have considered when suggesting weaning off your medicine. epilepsy.org.uk/info/treatm...

If you have any questions then please feel free to post here again, or you can call our Epilepsy Action Helpline on freephone 0808 800 5050.

Best wishes

Grace
