Four mgs. is a good place to jump off. Don't prolong what you're going to have to go through.You're doing great!

John You have been tapering for a long time..That is a plus..If you want to jump then jump..I jumped at 30mg plus 2 other meds..It was not fun but I am here today and very, very happy and BLESSED...You will be fine....
You are at 5mg right???

john,
tapering below 5mgs doesn't make much of a difference. so to jump off at 4mgs is fine.

Are you taking 9mgs for a week then dropping and taking 4mgs for a week? Personally, I think you should go as low as possible before jumping off...the lower you go gives your body more time to adjust I would think?
