Hi, you have told that your younger brother is taking medicines for last 10 ys.
I would like to know about that you brother is seizure free or not.
If he is seizure free then EEG should be done .
If EEG comes out to be normal then antiepileptics can be stopped.
After that he has to take allthe precautions to avoid triggering factors for epilepsyand he can live normal life after that.
Thanks
