Depending on how much the highest dose was, that sounds like a fast taper from March to April. Also, when the doctor tried to get my mother from 10mg to 5mg, they took her down 1-2mg every three weeks. I can see a big difference in her when she gets as low as 7mg - terrible fatigue. She's never been able to go lower than that due to her illness and really functions best at 10mg. I guess my point is that even as little as 1-3mg difference can have a big effect. Perhaps a taper from 6 to 1 gradually would have done better (I honestly don't know, just guessing). You should read Flamingo Jim's blog (http://jimschmitz.wordpress.com/#!/page/1).
