I would freak out if i'd been on a long taper (say from 150mg/day to 10mg/day, dropping incrementally every 2 weeks) and had to go from 10mg/day to zero. After many months/years at any "reasonable" dose a drop from 10 to zero would be hellish to say the least, IME. As stated above it seems no matter how low you taper, when you finally go from a teeny-tiny taper dose to taking nothing at all, it still hurts. Habit of taking medicine alone makes it hard to forget.
Just my experience and 2 bits...
