Taper: I recommend a slow taper off this medication since you've been taking it for a prolonged period. Go from 1 daily to every other day for a week and then every third day for a week,etc. If the tablets can be cut in half you could also go 1-1/2-1-1/2- etc and gradually cut down that way. There is no exact science to this.
