Hi Eshwar
thank you for sharing with us
I read your query and understand your concern
Teorically speaking when patient is without symptoms for 3 years and EEG i normal treatment can be stoped
In any other situation treatment should be continued
Anyway now that you have stoped treatment i would reccomend to schedule an EEG
If it is normal dont start treatment but be careful , if symptoms are back you should absolutely begin treatment
You should avoid caffein and energy drinks
Hope you will find my answer helpful
Best regards
