Accidentally taken too much pred today.
Posted , 13 users are following.
In my mass of brain fog today I'm sure I've taken 25mg pred instead of the usual 15mg. I won't bore you with the details of my silly actions!
Should I somehow taper down or is it OK to return to usual dose tomorrow?
Thanks for listening!

I did something similar a while back and rang our NHS helpline. They suggsted it was an'accidental overdose' and wanted to send an ambulance! To cut a long story short, I ended up at A&E but once I had explained the situation and I only wanted to know 'what dose do I take tomorrow?' - they said, don't worry and return to your normal dose ASAP.

Something is flaring , but i don't know what. My head sweats have come back with a vengeance. I had them before I was diagnosed. It is winter here. I did have the head sweats for months before the major pain onset, so maybe I am borderline flaring. Thanks. When i get like this my brain is so fogged i can't think clearly.

Don't worry about it. Usual dose tomorrow. I take 8 preds, one aspirin and omneprazole a day in the morning. I was at a café having breakfast with a friend, threw back the pills, missed my mouth and some flew away. Ah well. Back to breakfast! It didn't kill me.
