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
