Hi billas,
Welcome to HCM!
Thanks for posting your query. I am happy to address your questions. As you have been having epileptic attacks from childhood, and stopping it caused recurrence, then will recommend you to continue these medications with regular follow-up with your clinician. Patients have even taken these for lifetime without any major concerns. All medications have side-effects but if the benefit overcomes the risk then taking it is more advisable. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help. Thanks
