Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
From the brief details provided, it seems that you had an atypical type of epilepsy, for which Zen Retard was prescribed.
If you had not had any episodes for more than 3 years, the chances of complete recovery are very bright.
I therefore, feel that a trial of gradually tapering off Zen Retard over the next 3 months--> complete withdrawal of drug- should be given.
However, this should be done under close supervision AND consent of Neurologist.
