Taper: If you have been on it 2 months, it is better to gradually reduce the dose before stopping under the direction of your doctor.

Don't stop cold: But you can stop. Talk with the prescribing doctor if possible for guidance. Or, cut it by half for a week, then skip days or just go off it. The main worry would be rapid heart rate, but your dose is low and tapering should be okay. Best to have medical awareness though. Good luck.
