Yes, the DSNS (dead slow/nearly stop) is the reduction I've used since the last big flare. Have only had a couple hiccups since then and both times I had to move the dose up a little so things were under control again. I would hold at that level for 3-4 weeks and then continue the very gradual reduction. I'm a big believer in that plan!
