Ask your Dr: There can be different strategies in weaning off medications and it can be very specific to the individual. Your Dr is the best person to give this advice, and should give you specific instructions on how quickly to era off the meds. He may want to taper you off both meds slowly or one at a time, but each person is unique, and your Dr knows your history best to make that decision.
