So close and yet so far away – tapering to 1 mg

I think I would go back to 2 for a few days, then 1.5 for a month, then 1 for another month, then 0.5 etc. Worked for me, no issues worth mentioning.

I'd be tempted to just do that. But it will be better if the PCP is on board. I'll see what he says if it still feels necessary this week.
When I was in between PCPs I tapered from 4 to 3.5 and did well. But when I went from3.5 to 3 I had a hard time. When I went from 3 to 2 I did pretty okay, but it took me the full 30 days to adjust, and I waited an extra 5 days to feel "sure" about going to 1.
