Why not just stop it right away and just have to cope with the withdrawal for a relatively short time than the months it takes to withdraw?
I mean like if I'm going to suffer the withdrawal then why do I have to drag it out?
I mean what worse could happen? I don't see how the withdrawal could be any worse so why do I have to suffer it for months?

This is not a good idea. It might seem like it makes sense to discontinue like ripping off the Band-Aid, but it send your brain into shock, which will only increase the amount of time you deal with the symptoms of withdrawal. If you don't withdraw properly, you could deal with the symptoms for years after while your brain heals from it.
The safest way is in small decreases with a few weeks in between, as mentioned above. Tell this to your doctor. They are not being fair to you, making you go down by 75mg.
This is not meant as a threat. It is simply the reality with this drug.
