Not the best way to lower your pred.

Interesting - you may not have a bad morning but on the safe side I would just start back on the 'normal' dosage??

Me too orangejohn, I once forgot to take my morning  dose and it must have been at about 6pm in the evening when I really did begin to feel very ill. No pain or stiffness but terribly fatigued. My husband asked me if I'd taken my medication and I replied yes. I went downstairs and there the medication was on the sideboard. 

I immediately took that day's dose, then the following day took the dose at lunchtime, then the following day took it at the normal 8am.

now I have one of the tablet dispensing trays so no more problems.

in your case I would definitely take the normal dose today too and tomorrow back to normal. Regards, tina

Paul you were lucky, when I did that (twice) I was in agony! The notes on my pred say if you forget to take it, don't double the dose just carry on as normal. Presumably when you remember.

Buy Dosset box and put it on your bedside table.

Go back to where you were and start again, watching out for a flare.

If that does happen, hit it hard and fast for a couple of day.

We have all done it at sometime or other.

 

You could have just taken the full dose the next morning. Just go back to normal - it'll be fine as long as you have no symptoms. This might be a sign you could get away with a bit less?

As lodgerUK NE says, we all do this occasionally.

Not usually a big deal for me, but yes, symptoms may flare somewhat for a day or three.

I find it to be a useful experiment. Though not deliberate, it keeps me informed as to my degree of dependence on Pred, so might help me better stay on top of ordering refills on time.

I have read elsewhere more than once that, as Eileen just commented, one should simply pick up where they left off and resume normal dosaging the next morning.

For someone who was holding off a more serious case, such as with temporal arteritis, a more regimented schedule might be more important though.

Yes - carry on as normal, and hopefully all will be well.
