It sounds like a good plan! Very slow reductions seem to allow your body time to adjust. I'm currently taking 1 mg alternating with 1/2 mg - feel good so far.

That is the basic tenet of the "Dead slow and nearly stop" reduction plan. You start by taking the new dose on just one day and reduce the no of days of the old dose until you get to alternate days old and new. Then you increase the number of days of the new dose between days of old dose. In this final stage the new dose is zero, the old dose 0.5mg.
