Dear User, the seizures will stop as long a you take the medication. Once you stop it or abruptly stop it, the seizures can come back and might even be worse than before. Hence it is advisable to continue the medication as your Doctor prescribed. If you found my answer helpful, please leave a Positive feedback as it helps me with my Practice. Thank you.
