Discuss: It's always best to come to a consensus w/ your Dr. Switch if you can't. Trust will greatly improve your results. You are right to consider a slow taper and there are doses down to 20mg (maybe less) and half dose taper each 2-3 wks is slow. Did you understand why you were taking it? That's all very important to know. Try to talk about it - best wishes!
