This is something you should ask your doctor.  Typically, you would want to taper off, but 14 days isn't too terribly long either.  

One thing I'll say is that you will very likely experience some rebound insomnia.  That's common after being on any kind of sleep aid, Rx or not.  Thankfully, your course of treatment was kept pretty short, so anything you do experience will be short lived.  

Good luck!

Why do you want to discontinue your medication.  Regularly meds should be weaned down.
