Depends: Assuming your doctor know hoe long you have been on it &why you are taking it, this is reasonable. You will have some "withdrawal" symptoms like maybe not sleeping as well or maybe a return of some of the symptoms of what you were taking it for. 50mg is a relatively low dose so this seems to be reasonable. Also, if you are being changed to a new med, you may be starting it while reducing it.
