Can I ask, what dose of prednisone is everybody on, and how many times a day?

The amount of prednisone being used varies.
Some people take 5 mg once a day
Some people take 2 1/2 mg twice a day
Some people take 5 mg twice a day if they have problems with fatigue
Both five and 10 mg are approved for use with Zytiga
One of the people I mentor through Imerman Angels was on 5 mg and he would wake up in the morning and have to go to back to sleep for two or three hours because he was so exhausted. I asked him to contact his doctor to increase his prednisone to 10 mg and it made a major difference in his fatigue.
