Dex 2 mg am and 2 at night. Now with feedback. Will do 1 mg at night and 2 mg am. And see how it goes. Stopped prednisone when starting dex. Thanks really appreciated your feedback

your welcome. If you were on 10mg prednisone thats 2mg of dex. Try to get as low as you can before the pain but getting off is better. Once your off then things calm down. DEX has a half life greater than 24hrs. You dont really have to split the dose. I had to much trouble sleeping at night with an evening dose. But the morning dose will last all day.
