Can you try to taper in a way that you can still quit on Sunday (2 today, 1.5 Fri, 1 Sat, 0.5 Sun)? If you don't like the w/d from taking < 2 or 3/d, just keep taking 2 or 3/d until Sunday, then stop and flush the pills. That would still make a really good taper, to go from much more than 10 down to 10 then to zero. You may actually have more w/d if you go down by 1/2 pill a day than if you just stop at 2/d. Just a thought ...
