A member asked:
We have discontinued meds for seizures which were termed to be absent epilepsy. it has been more than 2 years now, but nothing happened so far. ?

Vague: Question is too vague to answer. What do you want to know? Did a doctor advise stopping the meds? Was an EEG done before meds were stopped? Was the EEG normal?

Good luck: The likelihood of another seizure after 2 years off medication is low. You should have discussion with your doctor every couple of yuears just to check in.
