Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.
I am not a medical professional and would not be able to give you medical advice.
It is not recommended that you stop this type of medication unless you speak with your physician. Your doctor should be able to give you a schedule to slowly stop the medication to reduce any withdrawal symptoms. I would strongly suggest speaking with your doctor before stopping this medication.
