I do not, however, like tapering as the withdrawals are unpleasant. I did taper down and still it works for me! I will probably be on it the rest of my life, but I don't care because I have not reached tolerance w/d in all these years, and even if I go up in dose, it will be around 2.5mg. or so. Just my experience.

Thanks so much, Karen
