Starting My Taper. Any Tips??

I tapered down to 3mg a day. Been on this dosage for a month now. Tomorrow I'm going to try 2mg for 5 days. If that works then I'll continue to drop ½mg every 5 days. My big concern is that right now I actually feel the 3mg when I take it. Because of the ceiling effect with buprenorphine, if I take 4 mg I won't feel anything, but 3mg is my sweet spot that gives me a mild, pleasant, warm feeling. That's exactly what I'm afraid of. Dropping my dose ½mg every 5 days may work as far as withdrawals, but I won't have that warm feeling and I just know I'm going to be tempted to take 3mg again. It's happened to me before and it's a cycle I can't break, but I want to break. Any suggestions are welcome or if you have a better way to taper.
