If I were you I would probably just take an extra 5mg during the day when you must interact and be friendly. After Christmas just jump off and have a clean 2010.

hey dude...your kinda in a catch 22 if you stay at 1ml your probly not going to feel that well...I know I dident...but on the other hand if you go back up to 5ml you may feel better for a few days but you will ruin your taper and you will be right back at the 5ml level again....to me its not worth the agony of having to taper down again below 5 ml
if I where you I would just tuff out the holidays and then jump off ,go thew your final withdrawal and know its going to get better with time...another school of thought is
jumping off at 5ml ....witch if I had to do it over I think I would jump at 5ml rather then torture myself thew the last 5ml taper again....my final withdrawals where no worst
then tapering below 5ml.....I just hate to see someone blow something that is so difficult to do ...it is huge that you made it to 1ml and I know exactly how hard that is
you can do this ...your so close dude...dont blow it in the end..good luck with whatever you decide...Gnarly
