Hi,
Vimpat is a brand name of Lacosamide.
Do not stop any epileptic medicines on your own because missed pills can cause seizure attack and which can be fatal. Consult your neurologist and he can gradually taper the dose after assessing your neurological status.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
