Thanks Lydia! I thought of going down by 1 mg a month, but don't think I can cut up the pills that small. Each one is 5 mg. But it's definitely worth trying so I'll make it work somehow!

I would ask your doctor or rheumatologist for RX of 1 mg, 2.5 mg tablets to go along with what you have. It makes tapering at smaller amounts much easier.
