Taper medication: Before you start to taper your medication, have a discussion with the medical professional who prescribed it. You can then receive the information you need. This is a medication that most people find needs a schedule of tapering, not stopping all at once. Glad to see you are are feeling much better.

Good idea: That's a nice low dose - try half for 2-3 weeks then another reduction for 2-3 weeks more. If you feel good, a month in all should do it!

Go to 25 mg dose: for few weeks, then stop.
