According to Laurie Yorke, the RN, who runs the site, 2.5mg is when you can consider jumping off safely. Many people stop at 1mg.
I don't remember where she got that information as an FYI.
I will probably consider stopping when I get below 3mg with my Doxepin as I think it is going to be a royal pain in the neck to reduce that low.
