The effective dose range is 15—45 mg/day. Dosage adjustments should not be made more often than every 1—2 weeks. Treatment with an adequate dose should result in a positive response within 2—4 weeks.
Therefore, if you are on 45mg it is best for you to discuss a step down program with your prescriber. The gentlest way to taper down would be to use 30mg for 2 weeks, then 15mg for 2 weeks then 15 mg every other day , etc. Check with your prescriber before you discontinue using this medication. You must discuss your step down tapering with your prescriber before initiating.
Best of luck to you.
