Prognosis for successful withdrawal of antiepileptics is excellent in selected patients. Studies indicate that therapy should be maintained for at least three seizure-free years before antiepileptics are discontinued. The decision to withdraw medication in an epileptic patient hinges on the likelihood of seizure recurrence and a critical assessment of the benefits of discontinuing therapy as compared with the possible consequences of a recurrent seizure.
对于部分选定患者而言，成功停用抗癫痫药物的预后良好。研究表明，在停用抗癫痫药物之前，治疗应持续至少三年无癫痫发作。癫痫患者停药的决定取决于癫痫复发的可能性，以及对停药治疗的益处与癫痫复发可能后果的严格评估。
