My son started Depakote when he was around 10. We tried taking him off when he was 18. After about a month or 2 of being off the meds, even though he didn't have any seizures I had the doctor do an eeg and it showed seizure activity. We put him back on Depakote and he has been taking it ever since. He is 23.

I think everyones situation is different. My EEG's were negative and all other tests were negative including any brain damage. Can a person have a few seizures in their life and then never again? Of course. This is not rocket science, a tremendous amount is unknown in this area. Each patient has to decide for themselves after gaining knowledge and talking to their doctor what their best course of action is. Not all people have continuing seizures. I am planning to cut down on my keppra in a very slow and methodical manner and keep my fingers crossed. God Bless
