You need to talk to the Dr that put you on it. He/she will be able to reccommend oif you dose down gradually or cold turkey, but I would involve them in this decision since they perscribed it. There are also other options like avandia, chromium etc that might better suit you and you should have a heart to heart.

Feel better.
