I had cut down much faster than you, JH, so I think if you're not feeling any withdrawal, you could go down to 10 mg after a few days at 20 mg. You've been pretty conservative so far.
My pdoc didn't give me any instructions, which is a bit unlike him, but I get the feeling he may generally underestimate the effect of discontinuation.
I think when I finally went back up again (after calling my pdoc in the middle of the night from the hospital waiting room), I went down about 10 mg every three or four days. I didn't have any problems with that.
Incidentally, my pdoc prescribed seroquel for me while I was still in the waiting room, which took about an hour, of course, but helped a great deal. Maybe your pdoc could give you a little of that, just in case.
Let me know if you have any problems.
