John, I went even a step beyond what you did: When I was comfortable with the daily dosage of half 1mg tablets, I began to skip 1 day,
then 2 days, 3 days...... by spreading out I eventually phased it out completely. I add that in my history, I was also dealing with asthma symptoms that were triggered by the dose reductions thus my creativity.
@jules11, the every other day was suggested by my PCP when I was struggling with my taper. I had been taking 10 mg for 5-6 years for my organ transplant and this worked for me, but took me a while to do it.
I am thinking of you.
