Guest guest Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Many people try to reduce Prednisone more slowly. If you have trouble with your planned schedule you might try getting some 1 mg tablets and going down only 1 mg at a time. Another way to reduce more slowly is to alternate days 10, 7.5, 10, 7.5 or even 10, 10, 7.5, 10, 10, 7.5. For some it becomes increasingly difficult as you get to lower doses and you have to reduce by only 1/2 mg at a time.

Was diagnosed on 4/26/04. Doing very well. On methatrexate 6 pills a week, vioxx, folic acid and predisone 10mg a day. Saw dr. this week and we are going to try and reduce the predisone to 5mg in the morning and 2 1/2mg in the evenings for a month and then just 5mg if all goes well, hope to get as low a dose as possible, soon.Thanks,Joan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
