Been thinking more on this... and I agree, if someone is experiencing discontinuation sydrome, then the rate of weaning off the med is too fast. You said you want to get off them NOW... and that will be a problem. There's a chart of mg/halflife and rate of withdrawal for any med (I think.)... and often a patient goes off a medication far faster than they should. Slow and steady, slower than it was built up, is the way to go off a med without noticing it (assuming you no longer need it, and there's no emergency.)
