I don't think there is much benefit for that... you may feel good that one

day but that's it. Cortef only last 4hrs...so you would feel good for the

4hrs and go back to normal.

BTW...I'm feeling pretty good so far on weaning. I have certainly had my

bad days but, it feels like I am more consistent in the way I feel rather

than the ups and down's I usually get on Cortef...one more week and I'm off

of it completely!!! wooohoooo!
