I think it may depend on how long you were taking the 5 mg for. x

Maybe, well last time it was only a week before the 2.5mg but I've been on 5mg since July so a long time.

To be honest I'm not sure, I have tried to find out on Google but no luck, only when you start to take it and when you stop. I would imagine in would be a few weeks but that's just my opinion - it may be completely wrong. Have you tried looking in drugs.com or rxlist.com, they are usually very good but I don't know if they will mention reduction in dose. x
