For those taking a split dose of Pred when do you take your second dose.
Posted , 11 users are following.
My doctor is reluctant to put my dose of Pred up from 9mg to 10 mg so want me to take a split dose, as the pain wears off during the day , l aim to take the first dose after my breakfast in the morning and not sure what time to take my second dose. Doctor said that if I am still getting some pain after a few days to go up to 10mg. Thank you

Nick67069, that's very interesting. I am up until midnight every night. I may switch my dose to that time for a night or two to see if it's better and how badly it affects my sleep, which is already fairly patchy. Thanks.

It SHOULDN'T take that long to improve PMR pain. Are they sure it is PMR?

Thank you everyone I have taken my second dose after my dinner but I think tomorrow I’ll start taking my Pred just before bed . I felt very strange this morning thought that it might be some sort of withdraw symptom as my Body was used to 9mg 😢

Taking the second dose just before bed is no good on an empty stomach..

Hi Joydeck. I thought that I would take my Pred with fruit and a little yogurt , I normally go to bed between 9 and 10 so will take it as late as possible. 😊
