General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, if you are for free for three years you can consult your primary neurosurgeon or neurologist to tapper off antiepileptic or switch to a single one. Levatoracetam or lamotrigine can be safer but should be discussed before.

But in absence of any life-threatening complication at this moment, with such long history, it is less likely to be off all antiepileptics.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
