hello welcome to healthcaremagic your father could have stopped medicines if he was fit free for 4 years but as he got the attack when he decreased the dose he has to continue the medicines and he should get EEG done to see the extent of seizure activity and if necessary think about changing the drug if EEG is still abnormal.
