Q: If a patient is suffering from epilepsy and is treated and is fit from the last 19 years without medicines, does he need to take any precautions now?
A:I assume that this patient is "fit free" for 19 years without any medicines!In that situation, this patient need not take any special precautions. However, the final decision can only be taken after knowing what kind of epilepsy syndrome this patient had.
