hi I've been slowly feeling worse over the last couple of weeks and today woke up feeling dreadful , I'm aching all over and feel worn out, I haven't over done anything as I've been unable to do much at all . I am currently reducing slowly from 6mg to 5 1/2 I've only had one 5 1/2 then 6 6mg and was going to go to two 5 1/2 from today but really I'm wondering if I should be increasing and if so do I go back to say 7 when I was better at that dose 

thanks for your help regards Molly

    Hi Molly, I sympathise - I have recently dropped from 10 to 9 & getting more pain & fatigue again. Have dropped & been put back up by my Dr once & think this will have to happen again.
