Work in progress: Many kid epilepsy patients are a work in progress. There are multiple available medications and depending on the type of seizures, some seem to work better than others.

Accepted Answer

I : I think you have done remarkably well.  Keep up the good work.  Continue watching your diet and avoiding your salt intake.  Keep your caffeine intake down.  Keep working out.  Check your BP weekly.  If you can maintain your program, you might not need your antihypertensive medication anymore.  
Please understand that there is a flip side to this too. If you gain your weight back, increase your salt intake and stop exercising, you might need your medicine again.
Congratulations for your progress so far.
