Tapering off should be done carefully. My favored strategy is to reduce the dose in very tiny steps over a period of time. For me that was about a 3 month process. If the dose is reduced too fast or in large chunks, it can potentially feel aweful or bizarre. I went too fast a couple times and had to slow down. All you need is pill splitter and a single edged razor blade so you can make custom doses, slice slivers off, get tiny chunks, etc. When I say reduce dose in very tiny steps, I mean about .1mg to .3mg (1/10th to 1/3rd of a milligram).
