Was it epilesy?

I am 26 years old now. When I was about 11 years old,there were two events that led my diagnosis of epilesy by local doctor (non neurological professional). The two events happened in two successive nights and the situations were almost the same. It was not long after I feel asleep, my mom found me clenching teeth, with eyes open (showing the whites of my eyes).She called my name and I was able to give ambiguous responses. On the way to the hospital, I was able to put arms around my father's neck. I woke up before we got there. According to their description, it was as if I was awoken from a sound sleep. There were no stiffness, convulsion, nor foaming at the mouth. On the third morning, the doctor ordered an EEG, and the result was "abnormal". Then, the doctor prescripted carbamazepine for me, no further tests were taken. I had taken that medicine for 6 months until my mom stop it for fear of severe side-effects. It is more than 15 years now since I stopped taking medicine. During this long period of time,I had been eating, sleeping and growing like normal children, with no special care,and no accident or epileptic symptom had happened. Because misdiagnose can happen sometimes in my county. Now, I am uncertain about my health. Is there any method that can help me confirm my condition? Should I take special care like those who suffer from epilesy?
