Based on what my last pdoc told me when I told him I was going off it, there are two big worries: rebound seizures even in non-epileptics, and The Rash. The Rash can apparently happen if you stop abruptly, too. The seizure risk is probably pretty low.
But the bottom line is that it's better to taper down, rather than to stop abruptly.
