See your doctor: Congratulations on deciding to stop taking the medications you have described. Both can be helpful short-term but many people find they become physically and/or psychologically dependent on them when used long-term. Due to physical dependence issues, it is important to stop these medications slowly if you are used to taking them every day. A trusted doctor can help with this.
