Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
The most likely cause of fits in your friend's case is because he stopped the medicines without consulting the doctor.
Epilepsy is a chronic illness and anti-epileptic drugs are required for a long time in this condition.
Please ask your friend to consult a neurologist, so that the medicines can be re-started.
I hope it helps.
Best wishes,
