Hi @Carmen...welcome! Nice to have you here.
You did a 20% reduction, so I hope you'll be okay with that. With Hyperbolic tapering it's best to taper no more than 10% each month from the previous month's dose. The doses will get smaller and smaller as time goes on. It's easier on the brain that way.
You've been on this drug a very long time, so take things nice and slow. Slower is faster.
Here are some links that I hope will help:
