Taking Gardenal 60 mg 1.5 tabs and Eptoin 100 mg 3 tabs as I have 4M epilepsy. What are the adverse effects during the past five or six years? And how long should I take my medication?

After many years, long-term use of Gardenal and Eptoin may occasionally result in tiredness, problems with memory or concentration, gum swelling, vitamin D insufficiency, balance problems, mood swings, or effects on the liver and bones. However, many people require these medications for long-term seizure control; the length of time depends on your form of epilepsy, the frequency of your seizures, the results of your scan, and your doctor's recommendations. Because seizures can recur, do not abruptly stop or cut back on medication. During long-term treatment, blood tests, routine neurologist follow-up, and sporadic liver, vitamin D, and bone health examinations are crucial.
