I am a 71 year old woman who have been on topiramate 25 mg for quite some time. I receive my medication at a provincial hospital. They now substituted it with neophedan 20 mg. Can that be safely done?

Topiramate is an anti-epileptic drug, which can be used to treat various neurological disorders like migraine. Where neophedan contains tamoxifen citrate which is a nonsteroidal antiestrogen used to treat breast cancer. They do not belong to same class of drugs. Can you please mention why are you taking topiramate? By the way topiramate can never be substituted by neophedan.
