Default Stanford's recomendation

Annie .
You say don't try that ... I had come down slowly over eight months from 60 MG to 2.5 MG ( per my neuro's advice ) and had problems and now I 'm back up to 15 MG daily. I was going to alternate 15 MG one day and zero the next, per your comment about alternating ......I believe you're now saying do not alternate ...Is that correct ...?

You could put yourself into a myasthenic crisis or an adrenal crisis. Both are potentially life-threatening!!!

Please call and speak to your doctor first.

I know that coming off of Pred is hard, but you want to do it slowly.

Please, guys, do not play with these meds. You can have rebound effects, especially with Pred.

BTW, alternating days (i.e., 30/0) was NOT MY idea! It's what some doctors do. And I am not a doctor!!!
