Of course how medication affects everyone is different. I think your wise by reducing more slowly although your doctors suggestion may work since it’s a first cut but as your dose gets smaller make sure your cuts are about 10%, give or take. I’d stay on the 130.5 and all subsequent dosage cuts for 2-6 weeks. I’d wait 4 weeks. Although you might want to experiment with different time periods & percentages between cuts. Preferably I’d use a compounding pharmacy and taper by 10% every 4 weeks. One member waited 6 months between cuts.
Best of luck to you,
Jake
