hello user,
As far as epilepsy is concerned, most of the patients require life long treatment with anti-epileptic drugs, unless the epileptogenic focus is removed surgically or there is indication from your prescribing doctor to stop the drug !!
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards,
