Pred dosing or dropping it - need to taper or just quit it

[Guest guest]

I agree, I'll try to push it back a bit more and cut the dose before

quitting it. Do you think that I should still take a little cream

with that or just go all in? I guess that the worse that could happen

is that I'll wake up at 2AM and know that I'm out and then I'll have

to take a small dose of HC and hope to be able to get back to sleep.

My question for Val is whether one can just quit taking pred, at least

at such a low dose or would I have to taper off of it?

Do the scientific thing and try it with one night and without another.

I think if you do no cream, then you need more pred (but less than what

you're currently doing). If you do cream with pred, then cut the pred

dose even more.
