What would happen if you're used to taking 15 at one time and then go to 12.5. Doesn't that lower things even though you're taking the same amount for the day?I have some 25mcg pills but can't figure out how to dose that at 65 or 75 a day. Don't want to do 3 x 25. That's to much of a jump (from 15-25 at once) even though the amount is the same for the day.

So, bottom line does it matter how much you take at one time as long as the total for the day is the same?

8am 15

noon 10

4pm 15

7pm 10

bed 5

Can you split the 25mcg pills?

8am 12.5

noon 12.5

4pm 12.5

7pm 12.5

bed 5

Yes, those are easy to split because they are scored. What do I do when I need to add 5mcg then in 3 days, and then after that? thank you!!Subject: Re: Dosing/Splitting IssuesTo: RT3_T3 Date: Monday, October 13, 2008, 4:33 PM

12.5 to 15 is really nto enough to even feel the difference. now 15-25

some sensitive people migh tfeel. so then slip in an extra dose a coupe

hours after the first.

I know you're answering Lori but I also can only raise by 5 at a time. Because of that it took me 5 months to get to 65 and I'm not done yet. Adrenals never liked even a 5 at a time raise. Can't imagine raising 12.5 at once.

Why do you have to raise by 5mcg? I have never raised by less than 12.5mcg.

I dose 5 times a day. (7am-11am-3pm-7pm-11pm) If I needed to add another dose so I can keep using these stupid 25mcg pills were would I put it. Would 5pm bet the best?

I'm sorry to be such a pest but am having a heck of a time trying to figure out what to do with these darn 25mcg pills.Now I'm doing it like this: 15 - 15 - 10 - 10 - 15. and will change to 12.5 - 12.5 - 12.5 - 12.5 - 15

Total 65When I increase to 70.....how would I do it? 12.5 - 12.5 - 12.5 - 5 - 12.5 - 15. Does that seem weird?

Because the last time I posted to you, you said to raise by 5mcg every 3 days until I get to 75mcg, then raise by 5mcg every 7 days.Now I'm confused. I'm at 55mcg and switching over to Medrol at the same time.Subject: Re: Dosing/Splitting IssuesTo: RT3_T3 Date: Monday, October 13, 2008, 5:34 PM

Have you tried takin 25mcg at once? that is NOT a huge dose to take at

one time and perhaps ti si time to move to that. 3-25mcg doses would be

VERY easy.

Thanks Val. I wrote earlier but I think it got lost. Sorry if this is a repeat.I would love to do 25 3x a day but right now I can only go to 70. My adrenals will scream if I do more than 5 at a time.

How does this dosing sound for 70?12.512.512.512.520Is that to much of a jump from 7pm to bedtime?I'm doing 5mcg pills right now like this (at 65)1515101015
