They are the same. They are both used to mean that you want the other person to physically remove his body from being on top of you. Make sure you do NOT say "get off ON me".

This one is more common in American English. Unless you use that kind of English in particular, it should be "Get off me". The "of" is unnecessary because, it does not add any extra meaning.

"off of" is one of my pet hates. To me it sounds horrible. It never means anything more than "off", and there is never any reason to use it.
