Not abruptly: First, if at all possible, I’d like to urge you to involve your a mental health professional in your monitoring and progress. Assuming that’s not possible or feasible and you are set on this course of action, the best way to stop is gradually - over at least two weeks - in the form of lowering the dose every few days and eventually spacing the dosing to every other day to soften the impact.
