I have only reduced 5 mg at a time. Began at 20mg at the onset of my PMR diagnosis. After 30 days reduced to 15mg with no trouble, then 30 days reduced to 10mg with no issues. Hopefully I’m just very lucky.

It's the percentage decrease which is important, not the amount. Most of us wouldn't say "only reduced by 5mg" even when the dose was larger. When I was at 25mg, the rheumatologist had me dropping 2.5mg per week, with a drastic readjustment at 10mg (1mg every 2-4 weeks). Really, is your doctor okay with your dropping from 10mg to 5mg?
