Best move: best to wean off. stopping suddenly might precipitate a rebound reaction you wouldn't like

Yes : it is advisable for you to taper the dose to avoid withdrawal effects. The risk of withdrawal symptoms is higher the longer you have been on the medication. Symptoms of withdrawal can include anxiety, decreased appetite, mental fogginess etc.
