Can someone tell me if I’m going slow enough

I’m elderly also, and yes it’s a living hell. It took me 2 + years to get off 2 mg daily. I tried to rush it and paid a hellacious price! I would say go slow as you need to, and stabilize at every cut, for as long as it takes. Even go back up if you need to. I know what it feels like and even though you want this crap away from you, just be as patient as you possibly can. You can do it. Others have. You’ll get there.
Also, I’m assuming you’ve read the critical parts of “The Ashton Manual”? The Gold Standard. Keep the faith, @amdavis70

Thanks for the advice. I haven’t read the Ashton Manual but am aware of what she says. I don’t know how to taper less than .125 mg. I think in the manual she recommends titration? Not sure. My Dr only gave me a prescription for the .125 so the last part of my taper is really hard. How can I keep to 10% or less when my daily dose is now .25 mg?
If read I shouldn’t go back up but if I do what do you recommend going back ip to?
