You could try the alternating taper….1 day 4, 2day 3, 3day 4, 4day 3 etc, for 1 week….you are actually at 3.5 dose this way. Give it a week, maybe more.
Thats another way to taper slow.

That is what I have done this time to get down from 5 to 3…..very gradual transitions alternating between 5 and 4.5, then hold, 4.5 and 4, then hold, 4 and 3.5, then hold, 3.5 and 3, then hold, and now 3 mg. It has taken time. I am nervous about dropping further but will probably continue these very gradual steps. Others on this site have suggested this kind of a schedule.
