Guest guest Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 Hi Rosie, I'm glad for the respite from taking so much tylenol. I used to buy the HUGE bottles, and would take 6-8 a day. I would say you are right, the prednisone made an immediate difference. After the first dose, I just didn't need the tylenol anymore. Or the LorTab. For however long it lasts, I'll be grateful. If I end up sharing your experience, and I'm weaned off the prednisone, who knows, I may be back to the tylenol again. Suzanne > You're lucky you can get by without taking NSAIDS.
