Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Its not at all advisable to stop these suddenly. Most importantly, you bp will shoot up in rebound manner which can be deleterious for you. If at all you want stop at any cost then it's better to gradually reduce the dose on weekly basis for body to adapt.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
