    Don'..Sorry to hear of your problem.. I would suggest contacting your Dr. B4 cutting back that much.. If it were only 2.5 mg. maybe not a problem but for u to have taken 20 mg. for 18 months... I would check with Dr. ... U wouldn't want to cause unnecessary aniexty r etc. from cutting dose.. I'm not a professional so I would just phone my Dr.. Take Care
