Hello, from what I could gather is that you were prescribed this medicine and without the doctors' knowledge you stopped it abruptly and most probably that was the reason you're throwing fits again. See you have to gauge risk to benefit of the medicine taking it for long time. If you are supposed to take it and that too in a particular dose, but you are not having it/taking lesser dose of same, in that case there are increased chances of having a fit. So it is always better to abide by what your neurologist has prescribed you and am sure that he will, in time taper off the dose as required. And as regards cure for this, if you take the medicine regularly there are fair chances you're getting rid of the ailment for good.
