As soon as you can: Maybe you could clarify in terms of how often you mean by "PRN." Ideally you would want to be off of medications that have potentially teratogenic effects as early as possible. You should not do this without direct consultation and support of your doctor as you don't want to run the risk of experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Have an open and honest talk with your doctor about your plans.
