You should discuss coming off your medications with your doctor and let the doc give you a withdrawal plan.  Cold turkey isn't the best method.
A gradual reduction in your dose is usually what's recommended and maybe best to withdraw from one and see how that goes for a few weeks before stopping the other.
Let your doc assist you.  Good luck
