Spine Surgeon,  's  Response
I am glad you have stuck to the advice of a neurologist and continued the medicine. Before thinking of stopping the medications, it is important to see if you are therapeutically covered by the amount of drug you are on . Also investigating for seizure activity in the brain would help. To this end two tests would help
1. Valproic acid level in the body
2 EEG

Stopping this drug can be thought about definitely as you don't seem to have had an attack since 2002. You could get more advise once the two reports mentioned are done and conveyed .
