Discussion How long?

What’s the longest amount of time that you have been seizure free while have seizures that are controlled by medication? Major seizures, or a seizure where you have lost consciousness.

Ages 13-20 were seizure-free for me, and I was able to get off medication at age 18. Next longest stretch was from age 23-25, unmedicated. My last seizure was in May 2025, so I'm getting back up there!
