How to taper a medicine?

Hey fellas;
Not sure I am using the correct word but I'll try...
I am currently taking Methotrexate 3X10mg/week since quite a long time. It possibly helped (no one knows) because since a while I have no more active lesions. Therefore I'd like to reduce its consumption since I believe the less chemical the better.
Question (request for opinion) is: is it better to change the frequency (like 2X10mg/week) or the dosage (still 3Xweek but 5mg)??
I'd love to hear your opinion; with or without experience
Thank you for your time.
