There are different methods like the Ashton method. I would search your area for a withdrawal program.

Why do want to stop taking it?

The NIH warns that a rapid cessation may create the risk of seizures, as well as other withdrawal effects, such as nausea, dizziness, fever, and chills. Thus it is best to do so under the directions and supervision of a medical professional.

Are you on any other medications?

Yes I am. Venlor as well as Epitec. I feel I'm getting addicted and I don't want to, but I have to rely on it.
