Taper it off. Start taking a little less amount like half tablet daily so that you can sleep well but slowly adapt to a lesser dose of the medication. If that works for a couple of weeks then make the half tablet every alternate days for another couple of weeks. Then take it twice or thrice weekly and so on . Slowly stop it over time
