The guidelines are to stop medicines after a 3 years of last attack. I guess you have not had seiure at all and the medicine was prescribe as a precaution. Ideally youi should stop the medicine, it has to be tapered down gradually over 3 months, this with the clear understanding that though the risk is less nobody can guarantee that seiure cannot occur, but hen nobody can guarantee that while on medicine you will not have any seizure. I suggest you taper medicine and take precautions.
