This is my experience. Cranitomy done may 2014 to remove abcess left temporal lobe from bacterial meningitis of my brain. Seizure risk since then. I have been seizure free all this time. I am legally licensed to drive. Over time under medical supervision I tapered off klonopin. I took topiramate and dose lowered from 400mg daily to 75mg daily. Now I only take lamotrigine 100mg ER daily. Once that dose was 200mg daily IR. All this done under medical supervision compliance with driving laws when this occurs. My EEG shows a breach rhythm which is non epileptic but not normal. It is a skull defect from the surgery. Mini plates and screws are in my left temporal. I do not know how to find it but there are medical- neurological algorithms that predict future seizure risks when AED is removed. I wish I had a better answer for you. Life is a gift
