Yes, it can be stopped, but it does require a very slow taper and there are some risks associated with doing so, such as elevated blood pressure, and heart rate according to FDA reports.

What dosage are you currently taking? Have you consulted Nephrologist?

I've never heard of this medication being used to treat kidney issues. Are you on any other medications?
