Had Slight Cough. Taking Pantoprazole Sodium Ec Daily. Can I Quit The Tablet Abruptly?

I have been taking Pantoprazole Sodium Ec 40 mg daily for about 5 years now and am planning on stopping it tomorrow. I have never experienced GERD in my life but my doctor prescribed the Pantoprazole for a slight, nagging cough I had. I no longer have the cough. I have since moved to a different state and that's why I want to get off the Pantoprazole. Just want to make sure it is safe to quit abruptly. Thank you.....
