Wean off : Need to slowly wean off. Stopping this med suddenly will cause a withdrawal reaction. Speak with your physician about a safe weaning process.

See your doctor: If you can't find any common ground then it's best to part ways and find a physician you feel mors comfortable with. That said, you should negotiate a time period during which you can try alternatives before resuming orthodox therapy. Your doctor will help wean you.
