The lowest effective dose, how is it defined?

This was the dosage lowering plan my PCP had me on and I was holding at 3. Sorry I moved on to a rheumatologist that reduces dosages at a much faster level which doesn't work for me. Back to 10 mg. due to pain and flare ups.

I have a rheumatologist who had an aggressive taper schedule for me. After my last flare at 8 mg/day, she now 'suggests' a taper schedule, "as tolerated". I had to go back to 13 mg. I've learned a lot from this group, regarding tapering. I know my body better than her. Good luck.
