Hello,

There is no such difference in both the medicines as both contains similar drug but with different trade names.

Neurologists usually recommend stopping anti-epileptic treatment a minimum of 2 hours after the last seizure, since you are seizure-free for the last 3 years.

You can not stop your treatment immediately since it can also cause seizures. You have to visit your doctor to taper off your treatment in period of minimum of 1-3 months to 6 months.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
