I'm down to about 5 mgs and I'm not feeling well physically. Any suggestions to make my symptoms more tolerable?

I'd either go back up to 10mgs then tapper very slowly to 5mg then get off completely, or if you can, just discontinue it all together since you're feeling awful no matter how slow you taper. I believe it has a short half life so it should be out of your system rapidly...sorry, and best of luck!
