^This is why I recommend to anyone else for the last stage of a benzo taper, while you're at the lowest dose, to start skipping days between doses before jumping off completely. Going from a daily dose to no dose at all for a week just doesn't really work with benzos at any dose. Even at that low of a dose, it would definitely have been better to take 2mg every other day, then every third day, etc, until you're taking practically none and can stop.
If you're really worried about how you'll do tomorrow, maybe take 1mg to ease your mind? It sounds to me like the last part of the taper was done too quickly for you, and if you're still not adjusted, maybe getting a small amount in your system will give your body long enough to adjust before wearing off completely. I wouldn't take more than that one dose since you're already so far; this dose is just to give you a little more time to adjust before you have no benzos on your receptors again. If you don't need this dose, don't take it. If you do need it, take it.
