Both of them have the same drug.
But each ones absorption and duration of action is modified by manufacturing process of the drug.
If your doctor has prescribed it for fits control, she/he must have calculated the peak action of the drug around the time of fits. So, take accordingly for effective control of fits.

You should consult your doctor ,epilive is not given during pregnancy ,he will switch you over to antiepileptic which are safe during pregnancy. Taking epilive at time of conception will not harm the baby as at this time organs are not been formed
continue your pregnancy, throughout the pregnancy you should be in consultation with physician & gynaecologist.
