Courious as to why you would choose to give up the meds over the alcohol. You may want to address that issue.... My experience always consult with the Dr.before I tweek my meds...

I would not recommend stopping either of these meds suddenly. It's always best to work with your Dr on a tapering program. Stopping them or tapering too fast can possibly make you really sick.
