I'd go with what Blue said about tapering and doing so in conjunction with your doctor.
I've been tapering down from 2-3 mg/day but it's taking a very long time because I went down .25 mg and then my father died and we waited a long time to go down again so I was stable and then we went down .25 mg a year later than the first taper and immediately a loved one got seriously ill and now COVID-19 has happened. So it probably will be nearly a year before we go down again I'd guess. It can be done MUCH faster than I'm doing it; my life is just making it tricky. For what it's worth I've really not had much trouble with it, just a week or two of feeling off. But I'd hoped to be done by now and I'm still on 1.5 mg/day. However I'd rather go this slowly and respond to life events than to fail and have to face the taper again knowing I hadn't succeeded before.
Good luck to you.
