I am 19 years old male needs epilepsy treatment. My first seizure was seen on June 2013, then I took medicines for 3 years and completely stopped taking medicine in March 2017. I had again seizure on 19th Dec. 2017 for which I consulted my previous doctor and he recommended on taking on 3 years medicines. I want to confirm if it is fine to continue the medicine course for next 3 years or do you suggest any other alternative?

Yes. Epilepsy cannot be cured but treatment can prevent attacks. You should always take medicines under the guidance of a neurologist.
