Hello!
Can I ask you while you were tapering if you had discomfort in your shoulders in the morning or were you completely symptom-free? I am tapering very slowly and am at 7 mg. I always have a little discomfort in the morning. Not sure if that is normal. Or if I’m supposed to be completely symptom-free before I lower the dose, I’m going to talk to my doctor but just wanted your experience. Thank you!

Welcome @hiking2552, I always had a little aching or discomfort when I got up in the morning while tapering and before taking my daily dose. We are each a little different but I kept a daily log and if my pain was above a 1 or 2 level either delayed my taper for a few days or increased half of the previous taper down so as not to go all the way to the previous dose.

Do you keep a daily log or journal?
