Up to you really - if all is good there is no real reason not to continue but for safety you could wait a week or two;

You can do either, it depends on how you feel.

Most of the time I just went from one to the next, unless I knew something was on the horizon that might cause issues, or if I didn't feel 100% happy...which was only the very last couple really..

I just carry on until I have a glitch, then stop!

I would suggest waiting at least two weeks to be sure that your body is happy with the new dose before starting to taper down again. The last thing you want is to have to go back up to a higher dose because some symptoms have begun to return. "Slowly, slowly catchee monkey"!
