Hello,
Usually we use a strategy called taper and stop. You can reduce the doses gradually over a span of one year and can stop completely. But do not do it without your psychiatrists' advise.
Therefore I suggest consulting your psychiatrist for physical examination, diagnosis and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
