I was at 5mg, then Dr wanted to drop to 4 mg. I elected to split a 5 mg in half and add two 1 mg to go to 4.5 for three weeks, then drop to 4mg. So far so good. Next will try 3.5. Hopefully no relapse. I’m going very gradual after following this group chat.
Good luck
Thank you for ur reply. Your suggestion seems to be a more cautious approach which I’ll take to my G P as I parted company with my Rheumatologist who was useless. Best wishes
