You should not stop: these habit-forming medications cold turkey because they will cause you to have withdrawal syndrome, which could be life threatening. They are supposed to be tapered off in a controlled fashion, with close monitoring by your physician/ healthcare provider. Please see your healthcare provider for proper recommendations. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
