Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
At the prescribed dose, it is completely safe. You should not have stopped it like that abruptly. Once in good control, you need to gradually taper it and then stop under medical guidance please.
Best Regards,
Dr Sumanth
