so exciting to be at this amount. I know it sounds like a lot to many of you, but I started at 60mg, had to move to 80mg, then back to 60. I am quite excited to be at this "low" dose.  

doc suggested jumping to 20, but I decided to take a more cautious approach and do 22.5 first. she's always in a hurry wink. If this doesn't cause much of a fuss, then in a couple of weeks I might move down. I know my body and it will fuss pretty quickly if it's not happy. 

anyway, I'm celebrating reaching this level. been a few days and so far so good (knock on wood). I even had two teeny weeny sips of wine (about a tablespoon) last night, my first in a year. yes, I know how to party :D.
