john, just take it as it comes. please try to relax. you are letting to much fear in. you are stressing yourself out. dropping at 5mgs a week is a doable amount . when you get down to under 30mgs is when you have to slow down. you have about 6 weeks before you get there.
sending peace and prayers,
debbie

I'm with Gnarly on this one, 30mg is a turning point for many. Try to relax as much as you can until you get to a lower dose. I think you are fine for now, just keep moving forward.
