Hello ma'am and welcome.
Please discontinue the medication under the supervision of a doctor, so please visit a doctor and go about an elaborate evaluation. There are various parameters that need to be checked and correctsd, vitamin supplements that need to be initiated, and so on. You need a doctor to supervise your entire pregnancy, and if you wish to have a safe and healthy pregnancy, then it is mandatory to visit a doctor at the earliest.
As for the process of weaning off narcos, start taking the medication once everyday if you used to take it twice a day, for a week. Then start taking one tablet every alternate day for 2 weeks. Then shift over to taking half a tablet every alternate day for one week, then half a tablet once in 3 days. And finally one tablet a week, and then discontinue it.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
