A member asked:

My daughter 13,started medication for absence seizures 3 years back. diagnosed to be jae based on eeg then. eeg is normal now. when to stop medicine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Contact neurologist: The majority of these patients will grow out of this pattern by their teens.Three years without seizures & a normal EEG is a good starting point to coming off drugs, but you should contact your treating doc and work out a plan for such a change. Some meds require a gradual wean or problems can be triggered.
