my last t ( and former ) stated I was on too high a doses on my meds ...I asked my pdoc about this and he called her ( would loved to have heard that conversation ) ... maybe you will be ready to cut back in a year ... maybe not ... maybe she was giving you a goal to work too .... I don't know ... but for me ( I have always had bad results going off meds .... no matter how slow I taper ) ... hope you stay well ..
