Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 I'm trying to get down from 7 mg to 6 mg of prednisone. At my ENT's suggestion I went down to 6 1/2 mg, alternating the 7 and 6 1/2 for a few days until I feel comfortable. Then will try 6 mg. I found that going down one mg at a time didn't work too well. Maybe that will work for others. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 G, One of my doctors recommended that same approach - alternating the dosage daily for a week then lowering the dose and alternating again. It's been successful for me, too. Original Message: ----------------- From: bostonlizz Bostonlizz@...
