Thank you for your insight. Is there any known downside to splitting the dose? Possibly insomnia, but anything else to look out for? When you started titrating down from 15mg were you completely symptom free or do you tolerate some pain and begin lowering the dose?

@villager
I split my dose and had no problems. I did 50/50% am and pm.
I also, did not drop more than 10% each time I tapered.
it gets harder with lower dose, so I split pills ( Amazon pill splitter)
Did not tapper until pain free at least a few days.
Your journal and body will tell you how and when. “They” know more than the dr.s
