I definitely know it's small. The 0.5 mg was luckily small. I had been on that dose (or higher) for about 10 years now. A concern he had was that reducing would reduce my sleep and/or be the tiny little thing that makes my stability start to turn. Almost every single year I have been vulnerable to some level of mania as spring approached. Hopefully it will be just a pleasant "mood upswing" as I like to call it, and nothing more concerning. I haven't reached psychotic mania since 2018, but have had my fair share of hypomania in springs after that.
