I think our bodies know best. Don't be disappointed in yourself for trying and if he's disappointed...oh well. I'm at 15 mg. down from 20 mg. I do notice some stiffness, but this will level off I'm sure. I did try going down another 2.5 mg but that was a little too ambitious. Next it will be 1 mg. Probably in a few weeks. Listen to your body. I think 6.25 is amazing!

So true! I’m alternating by 1mg every other day for 1-2 weeks on my ramp down. Seems to be working. Fingers crossed that it continues to work.
