@imabamagal I agree with the others, I think your taper was too big of a jump. My own doctors encouraged the same amount of jump for me-from 1mg to 0.5mg. And as chrpeters23 said, whatever the reason you are prescribed for it, be it anxiety, or like me, a movement disorder, a big cut, can mean a sudden increase in symptoms. My myocolonic jerking (that's what I take it for), flares up when I tried to cut too much. Going at a much slower rate, has made my tapering smooth now. I still have a ways, but intend to go slower as I get lower. I hope that will work for you too and that would be the best advice that everyone here will give you...slowly but surely.
