it is not advisable to stop taking it right away.if you have been taking it for that long..reduce the dosage..half yuor tablet..or better talk to your gp..

tough one to call, 4-6 weeks is normally ok to stop without tapering - you've only been taking them for 8 weeks which isn't much longer. Plus your only on a very low dose.

Contact your GP, but i wouldn't worry.

Hi hun
I was one them for 16 years and would always adivse anyone to reduce from a them. Youve only been on a small dose and for a short time so i wouldnt have thought youd have much or any problem. Try reducing by half or even 3/4 of a tablet as theyre easy to break up, but try not to worry about it too much. Maybe you should go and have a word with your gp and tell him your a bit anxious and im sure he will help ease you off them to save you worrying.
Take care and good luck with your pregnancy.
