Your doc should be the one advising you on how to transition your meds. When I was on meds for something else, my doc had me lower the dosage of my original med to 1/2, and I added in 1/2 dosage of my new med. Then slowly (over the course of one month), I "weaned" myself off the old med, and then came up to a full dosage of the new med.
