40 mg for 2 weeks,
35 for 1
30 for 1
27.5 for 2 and continue tapering for approximately another 10 weeks.
That said I'll be meeting with my GI specialist every month or so to update treatment if needed.
What doses have you people typically been on? Am I getting too carried away looking at the myriad of potential adverse effects?

Thats a pretty standard dosage and taper. You wont have any issues outside of relief.
