What a nice report, sounds like you are doing really well all things considered. Weaning yourself off the meds is a process you do not need to rush. Do as you did, cut back some and wait and see how much discomfort you are experiencing. If too much, add some back, even back to where you were if needed. The next day cut back less and see how it goes. If you can suffer a bit do that as that will get you off faster. Just make sure you are not suffering too much pain. Your body will tell you how much medication is needed to cover the pain.
I just noticed you finished rads just a couple days ahead of me. Guess we are classmates of class of summer 2013. :-)
