I can't imagine being on 65mg for a whole year. It is such a powerful drug in what it does to improve our lives and all the unwanted side effects that come with it! I saw my endocrinologist yesterday and I will call him when I get to ten mg and start the slow taper again. I am actually kind of excited at this point to think I may have more energy for the summer. Once I was below six mg I was just dragging all the time. I would have withdrawal symptoms but never got to the vomiting stage. My asthma is also better just have to stay out of the heat. Thank you for sharing your insight, experience and support. Hope all is well with everyone today. Sent from my iPod > was anywhere from 5 - 11mg/day. Their best guess for me is that my replacement dose is somewhere around the 8mg on a normal day as my lung conditions require more than the normal and your adrenals will produce extra to meet your needs up to the 11/12mg per day point and even more during extreme crisis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
