Decrease dose.: Under the supervision of your physician, the best way is to cut the dose in half and do this gradually over a couple of weeks. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if it ok to cut the type of pill you are taking in half to get to 25mg for a couple of weeks. After that, you can stop it.

Under supervision: Discuss it with your physician to see what is safest for you. However 50mg is low enough to stop it without having to decrease the dose.
