Yamile,

Thanks for your question.

As with all medication, never stop or change the dosage of a medication with your doctor's knowledge. Depending on your situation, your doctor may want to taper the dosage over time, or he may say it's OK to stop a medication all together. There's no straight answer other than asking your physician for directions.

I hope this also means that your were successful in quitting the habit. If so, congratulations.

Martin Cane, M.D.
