I was diagnosed with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy in 2009 (at age 15). have remained seizure free since then. can i discontinue levera xr 750 now?

Seizures : Stopping seizure meds can be an option. However not without close medical supervision. Talk with your doctor. Find out if the time is right. Going off these meds needs to be done gradually so as to not trigger a seizure again. It must be a great feeling to be seizure free. Staying without seizures is the goal. Do it with the council of your doctor !
