I started with 5mg. After months my doctor tried 2.5. I couldn’t do that - too much pain. I went back to 5 for awhile. I started with four 1mg for a month. Then 3 for a month. Next month I’ll go down to 2 and then 1 for the last month.

Good luck with your tapering! I'm still on 15 mg, but am going to ask for some 1 mg tablets from the pharmacist when I renew the prescription, and try tapering off 1 mg/month. It'll be a long process, but it seems I have no choice.
