Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
Encornate Chromo is Sodium Valproate and Keppra is Levetiracetam.
Both are good for seizure disorder. But it is well known that certain medicines work better in certain people.
Since you were well controlled without any adverse effects, there is no harm in going back to it. But discuss with your treating doctor and he/ she ought to agree, if there are no other issues.
Wish you good health.
