Will you go straight to 3mg or do alternate day doses for a bit to soften the reduction? I'm at 5.5mg now with no problems, despite high anxiety about reaching that dose, lower than I've been before after 21 mths on prednisolone. So I do understand your trepidation. I'm using your successes to keep me optimistic about my next .5mg reduction in a week or so. Keeping distracted with moderate physical activity outdoors and sticking strictly to healthy eating is helping.
