Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hi Val, I am on 35 mg of Cortef. However, I believe I will need to be on 40 mg (which was what I was on last year prior to a time relase HC trial run). I know that at this point it is recommended that I go on something else like Medrol, which I will discuss with my doctor when we meet again in 3 months. But for the time being, I am taking 37.5 mg, anticipating needing to add that last 2.5 mg if I seem to be taking extra every day anyway. I am dosing as follows: 12.5 mg, 10 mg, 7.5 mg, 5 mg, 2.5 mg at bedtime I seem to remember that when I took 40 mg before, I was originally taking 15 mg at my first dose, and I am pretty sure you told me that was too much for an am dose (last year on the STTM forum). If I add in that last 2.5 mg, where would be most appropriate? If I need to stress dose, the need seems to arise in the morning. Does that mean I need that last little bit at night, or that I need it in the morning (dosing 15 mg, 10 mg, 7.5 mg, 5 mg, 2.5 mg at bedtime). OR, if 15 mg in the am seems too much, do I go with 12.5 mg, 10 mg, 7.5 mg, 5 mg, 5 mg at bedtime? I am not sleeping well right now. When I was on 40 mg previously, I was sleeping reasonably well. Then my doctor wanted me to go to 35 mg...and it has not been the same since. I tried time released HC...slept okay, but otherwise it was not good. Thanks for your help, Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
