What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The main purpose of this study is to understand the effects of continuing versus discontinuing antiseizure medications after a period of seizure-freedom. Physician guidelines endorse that after a period of seizure-freedom, the risk of another seizure may be low enough to allow patients to consider coming off antiseizure medication to see if they still need it. However, evidence is limited regarding how much continuing antiseizure medication still reduces seizures versus increases side effects after a patient has been treated for a while. This study will determine whether discontinuing antiseizure medications benefits patients.
