Yes, he can stop it without significant rebound effect. Your husband needs to limit salt intake besides losing weight with exercise in the meantime. He does not need to see his doctor, just call and let the doctor know about the discontinuance due to side effects and a new medication can be called in.

Best is to stop them and request that the prescribing MD see him soon. Hope he feels better
