I do not think you should stop any long term use medication abruptly. Gradual decline in dose is the way to go and you can take that along the way. Consult with your doctor about doing a dose decrease. Best, Alex Kagzanov, PharmD. Supervising Pharmacist UrgentRx Pharmacy Phone: (718) 570-3360 Fax: (718) 228-3845
