I agree with Birdie. Slow and stable is better. It took me over a year to go from 60 to 0. I had no problems going from 60 to 20 at 5 mg/month. The last time I tapered down from 10 at -1 mg per month. Got down to 3 and started having roaming joint pains. I went back to 5 and have stayed there. I had four rtx infusions last August and have had no immunosuppressants since. I'm stable and symptom free.
Btw, the main reason I'm at 5 instead of 4 is convenience. Easier to count and take one pill per day instead of four.
