similar. I started on 20mg. Quickly went to 10mg within a week. My feel good spot was 10mg. At 5 months I tapered to 5mg with no pain. Over the next month I went to zero. I had some discomfort for the next 4-5months but nothing like the PMR. It took me about 4 months to diagnose. Maybe the PMR had already started to burn out. Not sure. Not complaining.
