Help, brain fog

Personally I'd say it is probably better to take 2 doses than none! I'd take another if I were you - if you did already take it then you will just have a really good day! And maybe struggle to sleep tonight 

Get yourself a dosette box - you get daily, weekly or monthly ones depending on how many pills you have to take. If all you take is pred, you sit down and deal out the dose one time when you are in peace and just concentrating on the one thing. Then you can always see if you have already taken it.

Hi Sherri,

Yes take some more or tomorrow you will feel really sore.

When I have had any dental procedures for my implants and when I had a winter vomiting bug episode, both the hospital and dentist doubled my dose and then the next day took normal dose, this did not affect anything so it will be fine.

I hope you are having a nice Sunday otherwise, take care.

 

Hi, I had a similar experience a few weeks ago, I missed taking my Prednisone for a 48 hrs and gosh did I suffer! I was trying to reduce from 20mg to 17.5 mg at the time. I went back up to 22.5 mg for a week then slowly reduced the dose again. I have resolved this for future by purchasing a 7 day pill box from an on-line store beginning with 'A' and now I put my meds up once a week so that I know exactly where I am. I do take quite a few other meds for various health issues so this really works for me. Hope this helps. 

 

yes a doset  box is what you need i have one.   i also  have to put it next to my teacup as soon as i get up.  otherwise i forget   lol x

 

Thanks everyone, I went ahead and took 10 mg, I'm feeling particularly bad today so if it is a second dose maybe it'll help me. I think I may be coming down with a cold or something. I have a dosette box for my vitamins I guess I'll get a second for my prednisone . Usually I can remember to take it ,this morning I swear I just could not remember if I took it or if that was yesterday :-(

Hi sherrie74011

Count how many preds have been taken out of your pack...best wishes..

Sherri, I would take a 10 mg today and not worry about it. Better to have taken too much, than none at all.

Think positive. 🙂

Hi I agree with what has been posted. If in doubt take it anyway. On the other hand I once took 3 x 5mg tabs instead of 3 x 1mg tabs while reducing and no harm done. Good luck with the pill box. Take care.
