First of all it should be confirmed that you have seizure or pseudoseizure. Only by skipping 1 dose and same problem occurs less likely it is organic. Tell me in detail what happened when you forgot to take medicine and what happened 6 months back. If it will be seizure disorder then you should continue medicine for atleast 3 years if no seizure occurs during 3 years.

Usually anti-seizure medication are prescribed for 3-5 yrs, but it varies from patient to patient. If no further seizure occurs within this period and depending on your situation, they can be discontinued.
