You have been only taking 2mg a day?  Still notify your doctor that you want to stop but you should not deal with any major WD if you only take 2mg a day.

Never stop a Benzo cold turkey because it is very dangerous.  You could develop seizure activity.  You need to wean off.  Do you have legal RX?  If so go to your doctor and he can develop a safe taper plan for you.  Take care.
