I have not been tapering at 1mg per month on my own. I have done it under my rheumatologist's instructions. I'm curious where you found the information that states 1mg per month below 10mg. I'm not planning to taper down for about a month to avoid a flare up while traveling and would like to study up on the tapering schedule you mention before I start up again. I've had difficulty in the past when tapering down and I'm wondering if the schedule you mention might be a better fit for me going forward. Thank you.
