Hello.....
Usually, when tapering 1 mg doctors recommend reducing 1 mg for every 30 days.
I know it gets tricky when dosage is at 5mg and tapering to 4mg.
When tapering by 1/2 mg would that be every 15 days or 30 days?

When I got down to 5 mg I tapered by 1/2 mg every month or so. I'm now at 3mg and have been stuck here for months. Just glad to be below 5mg now. Positive healing energy to you.
