I think you're weaning off very intelligently. The slower the better and the safer. I don't think you should have ever been put on HC either. HC, in my opinion is for those who are suffering from very low cortisol and accompanied by a severe inability to do the regular things of life. But, mainly if that saliva test comes back low on at least 3 times of the day I would consider it smart to use HC. Probably not the case with you though.
