This was so helpful. Thanks for reposting. I had a pretty smooth experience from 40mg down to 3 on a monthly taper over 9 months. I was at 3mg when it hit and have begun the dreaded rollercoaster. It is the most challenging, crazy making part of PMR on this my second time around. At 83 it feels like “Really? Now? Will I outlive this?”

@brerabbit wow!!! So sorry you are going through this at 83. Yuck. Yes, it is a rollercoaster. I was gonna try from 5MG down to 2.5MG today. Sore from back in gym 1st week since 6 months. Will taper over weekend and skip gym so I can know if it is PMR pain coming back. Hang in there. Walk in nature;-)
