Hello Rick, welcome to Psych Central.

I'm not an expert on medication. You doctor has given you his blessing in this, has he told you how to taper it down? I would not recommend suddenly stopping the medication completely. If you are sure this is what you want to do, you need to do it very gradually over a period of time.

Hopefully others will chime in here with their personal experiences with it. You might also like to ask your question in the Psychiatric Medications forum.
