Just in my personal experience, I think Marcus has great advice. Low and slow with this stuff was the way I personally was able to successfully taper off with minimal symptoms. It has now been over 3 months. .25 was what I came down to also, then the jump from there wasn't awful awful. I experienced severe anxiety and exhaustion but it was SO worth it. Taking time off from work is a great idea, that way you can limit the outside stressors you would otherwise be exposed to.
