Hi,
One thing I am not able to analyse, why are you taking this drug for such a long time when you are seizure free since 2008.Normally we try to reduce the doses if you are seizure free for 3 years. Then gradually we try to wean off from drug in a tapering manner reducing the drug after every interval of some months ,may be 6 months. You may take methyl-cobalamin and/or Pregabalin also along with your anti-seizure drug.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
