This is what I think you are looking for...it has been used by many to taper:

The UK PMR forum on healthunlocked is a great resource. Dorset Lady (the dl in the link) has several tapering plans but the one that's most often written about is the DSNS version (dead slow..)

Thank you. I remember Dorset Lady. I couldn’t remember where I had seen it. It is slow and requires patience, but I found tapering more quickly hasn’t worked well for me. My rheumatologist is fine with this method. At this point, I get about 300 1 mg tablets at a time and let her know when I will need more. Labs drawn about every 4 months.
