If you have tapering problems below 5 mg this might explain why.

Going below 10mg was some kind of threshold for me. Went back and forth between 9.5 and 10 until the pains finally stopped, went between 9.5 and 9, etc. Now between 8 and 7.5. New rheumatologist wants to me to reduce from 8 to 7 in one step but I'm leary of such a big drop. On Feb. 1, I'll go to 7.5 for 2 weeks and then alternate betwen that and 7 for 2 more weeks if it's working. I'm not forcing anything.

I was acceptably able to drop by 1 monthly when between 10 and 5. Some occasional adjustment sniggles for the first few days after the drop, but thise are to be expected. Good luck either way.
