Do you want to stop?: No, it would be best not to stop. This would prevent withdrawal. The other question is, do you need it? It may be a little less expensive to use the non SR version, another medicine, or just make sure you have enough refills to get through the 3 months.

What can cause brain zaps (similar to withdrawal from effexor) when moving one's eyes. I haven't been on Effexor (venlafaxine) for years yet still experience these zaps.
