I would highly recommend AGAINST stopping it suddenly. You need to call your doctor tomorrow but tonight call a pharmacist and ask if this is a medication you can safely stop taking cold turkey during pregnancy - some medications stopped abruptly can cause seizures or miscarriage so please be careful. You take Elavil, right? i don't remember what the indications are during pregnancy so please call a pharmacist right away

I'm not sure what that is or used for, but for any questions regarding medications you should call your dr.  And congrats on your pregnancy. :)
