I'm 17 years old and I have been taking oxetol-150 mg. I take 3 pills a day, i.e 1.5 in morning and rest at night. Initially my doctor told me to continue it for 4 years in the year 2008. Now it's 2019 but I still have to take it. Those days (2008-2012) I used to take 2 pills a day but my doctor increased the dosage to 3 pills a day. I want to know whether I have to consume it lifelong?

You will have to follow the advise as stopping the drug would result in recurrence of fits you have. Doctors usually start decreasing the dose if you have been seizure free for atleast 1 year.
