I read your query and I understand your concern.

If a diagnosis of cysticercosis has been established the treatment consists mainly on antiepileptics to prevent seizures and if the parasite from the imaging seems to be still alive antimicrobial treatment with albendazole.
In your case it must be dead because you are only on antiepileptics (eptoin and frisium). The other 3 drugs are used to limit inflammation and protect your stomach from medicine.
I don't think that you should be taking these last ones for long (omnacortil, rheovit and protera), meanwhile if you have seizures (you don't give much info on that) you should continue antiepileptics for a long time, perhaps always. If you are seizure free now and they are causing side effects it can be discussed the possibility of removing frisium and continuing with eptoin only.

I hope to have been of help.
