Was your dose tapered down gradually? Mine was tapered over six months to such a tiny dose but I still had about a week of discomfort. It was mild though and that's because of the taper.

From what I remember of my experience I think you will be ok from this point, and won't get worse. I got the sweats and chills for at least a few days and then bizarrely it would return over the following months but left quickly. My doctor said well it just will be uncomfortable for a while, you can't avoid that. Hang in there it sounds like you're doing well!
