Just to clarify John, you took .5 for 6 months daily before your dead stop? Or, did you do a dead stop and then restarted the .5 because you had pain? Many thanks.

I tried stopping the .5 dose three or four times during the six month period. A couple of times I went back up to 1 mg due to my pain level. I was trying to stop the taper on a weekly basis. I kept a daily log of dose and level of pain. If my pain was above a 2 when I woke up in the morning and started moving around I didn't try to taper that week.
