Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this accident and fracture you suffered. To get off this drug, you would need to reduce the dose slowly so as to avoid withdrawal symptoms. I will also like that you talk with your doctor and get his Okay before going off this medication. Weaning off should be done over a 3-4weeks period with close observation for any withdrawal symptoms and prompt management.

I hope this helps. I wish you well and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
