It would be prudent to discuss it with the doctor who prescribed it. It is always useful to discuss all medications you are taking or planning to take, with your doctor. Visit this site for info: https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a694007.html Wish you good health!

Do not act on your own. Contact the treating doctor and discuss your wishes and obtain advice on how to taper off. Since this medication could cause bad effects if stopped suddenly, it is safest to have your doctor work with you.
