I really think the slow taper works. Maybe I wrote it wrong but I tapered by going down 1 mg per 4 weeks. As in 10 mg for 4 weeks, then 9 for 4 weeks and so on down to 1. It took me 10 months to get down to 1 mg.

Yes your taper made sense. My challenge is my insurance will only allow one prescription at a time and currently it's 5mg tablets. so 15 to 12.5 is easy but I think from 12.5 to 10 will be too much of a drop. By the time I was diagnosed, I could barely get out of bed or walk on my own.
