Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
After going through your history,you know this disease is may not be cured in most cases but can almost always be controlled with very good drugs now as in your case.
I am happy to know that you take medicines regularly,please continue to take your medicines regularly both the drugs are fine and please follow up with your Physician /Neurologist regularly as asked by them.
Please do not stop drugs without consulting your treating doctor.
Once you have sufficient seizure free interval your doctor may try to take off drugs gradually.
If it is not possible many times treatment may be lifelong.
But there are many diseases in which treatment is life long.
Please take care of yourself
Good Luck.
