Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi I am soon going to start taking Hydrocortisone and wanted to ask you all how I should take it. My GP instructed me to take 7.5mg in the morning and 5mg at lunch time. I have 2 issues with this: (1) This seems a high dose to start off on. Surely I should start with 2.5mg for a few days, then 2.5mg at breakfast and lunch, then after a week add another 2.5mg, etc. Also (2) Should I not be taking the HC at 3 or 4 intervals during the day - 8am, 12pm, 4pm and maybe 8pm? Instead of just at lunch and breakfast as advised? I am hypo and currently on 100mg of T4. I am also taking adrenal glandulars (which have been helpful but not enough i think). As always thanks for your helpful advise, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
