@trigirl64 You may find the tapering off will cause unforeseen issues. Are there side effects you are dealing with after long-term usage that is bothering you? Personally, I come from the camp of "if it ain't broken, don't try to fix it!" This is best for a frank discussion with your prescribing doctor, so he/she can closely monitor you

You may not need them any longer. Taper slowly with your doctor‘’s knowledge and see what happens. Why keep these drugs in your system if they may no longer be necessary or even helpful.
