If you were at 12.5, and no pain how far would you drop down? I rarely have pain lately. Some back pain of I do too much but I am 68 years old and it's helped with Tylenol.

If I was at 12.5 with no pain and I had been on the dosage for a few weeks, I think I might try going down 2.5 to 10 and see what I felt like the next morning. If the pain was too much I would go up 1 mg to 11 or possibly 12 depending on how much pain I was feeling that morning.
