I started on 20 mg January 22nd, and was on that for about 4 weeks. I was tapering by 1/2 mg every 2 weeks until my heart and kidney diagnosis in March. March 8th I was at 15 mg. On April 28th I was at 12.5 mg. Today I’m at 4 mg, so I dropped 8.5 mg in 23 days. I was on over 5 mg for over 100 days.

At 4 mg, a reminder to be alert for the symptoms of adrenal insufficiency and/or adrenal crisis, and to have a plan to deal with either expeditiously. Good luck, rock.
