If I take 9mg then 20mg would it hurt to go back to 9mg the next day? Am I making any sense at all? LOL Just seems like I would be coming off too fast. or something... I know I have read this before ..... also that some people take an antibiotic starting a couple days before they fly... Gosh..... what to do... Can't ask my dr... I don't have one ...LOL Well not one that knows about this... Thanks for the helpful hints... and thank you for your thoughts and prayers for .... hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2001 Report Share Posted August 25, 2001 Janet.. after taking 20mg of pred does he just go back to his regular dose Hi. Yes he goes right back to his regular dose and has never had a problem with that. Janet PS He also takes zithromax 500mg 2 hours prior to any invasive dental work..like an extraction. It works like magic..he heals very quickly...and he always feels emotionally very well when he takes the Zithromax(maybe there's a hidden ingrediant LOL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always made me feel great for a few days... That's when I caught on to the connection between the RP and antibiotic therapy.... Have felt great since I have been put on a daily dose of biaxin... I DO feel that that is the hidden ingredient.... Haven't had a flare since and have been able to reduce my pred.... hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
