Hi,
Although anticonvulsant needs to continue for a long time in between, one can see if the symptoms of convulsion are gone or cured. If no convulsion is there then it can be stopped but it happens in very rare cases otherwise medicine needs to be continued.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
