Advice Please

As some of you know, I recently moved from 30mg to 25mg to see if I could ease side effects. I was on 25mg for three weeks and felt a little better, but nothing substantial. I reintroduced CBD oil and it seemed that combo was working pretty well, but I really wanted to stop cutting pills so I reduced down to 20mg a week ago. The first few days on 20mg and CBD were great. I was even able to give up my morning Xanax. I was still anxious but it was manageable. But, the last three days, my intrusive thoughts have come back, which makes the anxiety worse. Ugh! When I was on 20mg before we increased to 30mg, I had days with no anxiety or intrusive thoughts, so I thought 20mg would be fine. SO, do I need to go back to 25mg and stay there longer, or is it possible I can still stabilize on the reduction? Those of you who reduced seemed to have success without regression, so I feel frustrated not knowing what to do.
