Consult your doctor: These are types of medications that should never be discontinued suddenly due to withdrawal effects/dangers. They need to be weaned off under the supervision of the prescribing doctor. Typically this takes several days or weeks, depending on the dose. However, your doctor can help you determine if you still need to be on them or if there is an alternate medication you can take.

Slow taper: A tapering regime needs to be followed as abrupt discontinuation of either drug could lead to adverse consequences.
