Yes. .5 (1/2 mg) and I follow the same site (Dorset Lady and DSNS. Found at healthunlocked.com PMRGCAuk). Even with a very slow taper, I struggle to reduce below 10 mgs. I keep trying though. 9.5 today.

Sorry, I didn't see the decimal. How long have you had PMR?

I too am having trouble as I inch below 10 mg. I’ve been reducing by . 5 mg every 14 days or so but now that I’m at 9, I think I’ll adopt the feathering in process ( Dorset...) that Peggy alerted us to, and do a few days of 9.5 and ramp down even more slowly. I’ve been diagnosed for nearly 1 year, and had one relapse when I went down to 8.5 that included GCA symptoms, no good. So I’m super cautious this go around.
