Oh my - I started at 50mg a day for a week - and was instructed by my doctor to drop 10mg a week - so in 5 weeks I am at 10 and am feeling a resurgence in pain in all the usual spots and even in my toes which I never had before! My doctor is away for the holidays - so I think I will increase to 15mg - as is the pain is manageable- but I don’t want to go back to a crippling situation waiting for my doctor to return in January.
