Coming off of Propecia. Can you just stop taking it, or do you have to come off gradually?

Hi I've been on propecia for about a year now but I am thinking of coming off it as I have been experiencing painful ejaculation, not sure if it is related but have heard this can be a side effect, can you just stop taking it or do you have to come off it gradually?
