Yes to the first one and it is worth a try . Many times people just have

to try new things wiht dosing to find what works for them. I have seen

many folks that 12.5 was too much in the morning for so try it!

You could try it, though frankly I don't think 12.5 mg " kills the ACTH " . I

have done as much as 20 mg in the morning and it did not throw off the rest

of the day nor did I sleep any worse.

Sorry one more question, OK two: I usually take 5mg at 6:30PM and 5mg

at 10 - 10:30 before bed (with cream) so take the 5mg at 6:30 and take

the pred at 8 correct? Second question is whether I should try

another dosing schedule before trying the pred that someone mentioned

over on Real Thyroid (there are a couple of active insomnia threads

going on over there right now). Right now I dose 12.5 - 10 - 7.5 - 5

- 5. She suggested reducing that first dose by 2.5 and putting it

with the 4th dose so 10 - 10 - 7.5 - 7.5 - 5 at bed-time. Her theory

is that big doses in the AM are killing ACTH for the rest of the day,

including over-night I guess, which is leading to the insomnia.
