I have frequently read about people who get down to the 1 or 2 mg level and reduce a little too quickly, resulting in a flare up. Actually, I'm at the 1 mg level myself and am in a bit of a holding pattern until I check in with my rheumy in 3 weeks. Because I'm hopefully close to the end of my 7 year journey, I'm more inclined to reduce very slowly. For example, the 1st week I'd do 6 days of 1 mg and 1 day of 1/2 mg. The 2nd week I'd do 5 days at 1 mg and 2 at 1/2 mg. Week 3 would be 4 at 1 mg and 3 at 1/2 mg, going down very gradually each week and then repeating the same process once I get to 1/2 mg. If I feel any resistance to the reduction I'll move back up to the last effective dose or a little above it.
