How To Withdraw From Dilt-XR?

How is the best way to come off DILT-XR 180 MG. I am 65 yrs old and have been on this for 20 yrs. My high blood pressure, I believe has been caused from stress and not cardiovascular disease. I started taking it when I lost my son at 17 yrs old. I notice that when stressed, it doesn t do anything to lower my bp. I can smoke just one hit of marijuana and with in 5 min my pressure will drop 20 points sometimes. It always lowers it. If I smoke a hit a day, my bp hardlyy ever gets high.
