HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, looking to the history given here I could say that if this is pure form of epileptic seizure and you are taking drug for this, I would like to say that antiepileptic drug does not have any serious side effect more over if this is grand mal epilepsy then one must continue the drug regardless the less side effect, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
