How do you wean yourself off it??

I would cut your tablet in half and have that for a week and then week after have half a tab every second day. I am by no means an expert though but this is how I once weened off a medication in the past.

Just start taking smaller dosages over the course of time. It can help to up your potassium via diet at the same time, so for a few weeks just add in coconut water or an extra banana (like you guys can even eat any more food.)

Another way to do it is to space out your dosages farther apart, so if you have been taking the ASG or COT every 6 hours, start taking it every 12 hours instead, then drop back to once a day. The more gradually you do it, the safer it is.
