You did not mention the rate at which you are tapering. Tapering too quickly can produce a variety of unwanted side effects.
I am now down to 3, tapering at 0.5 per month. Even at this liw dose, it is taking about a week after dropping a level to get back to feeling “normal”. Good luck.

A slow taper, 1mg every 6 weeks although I do reduce an extra .5 on week 6. I do seem to feel better later in the day and just relieved I know it will pass.
