Hi I Was Taking Only Epilan Tablets Since 20 Years

Hi
I was taking only epilan tablets since 20 years from 1985 - 2005 prescribed by some Dr,later I was then prescribed eptoin along with epilan in 2005 by other doctor and I took them for rest apx 10 years .During these years I do get fits/seizure rarely and after that I get weakness and little injury on tongue .So recently i got seizure and i visited Dr Satish Jain AIMS director neurologist he now after checking my medical reports(MRI etc) prescribed me to take 2 tab eptoin and 1 tablet epilive in morning and night a day and stopped my intake of epilan completely.
I want you to ask for my satisfaction
That is it fine to change from epilan to epilive along with eptoin because I was taking it for long time ?
It is told that epilan have bad side affects is it true ?
How will Epilive help in controlling fits ?
And due to weakning of bones due to these medicines dr have prescribed me gemcal so is it good?
And
I want list of medicines, salts or drugs not to take for other problems such as stomach infections , body aches etc.. because of my epilepsy problem and medicines I am taking to cure this .
Thankyou
