Hi @ayjaydee, Have you talked to your rheumatologist about tapering off? Each person is different but hopefully it won't be hard since you are already at 2 mg. 1 mg tablets can be split with a pill splitter fairly easy. If it were me, I might try to just take the 1 mg in the morning, skip the evening and see how you feel during the night. Then go for a couple days with just the 1 mg in the morning to see if the pain is too much. If it's OK, try going for 1/2 mg in the morning to see if the pain is OK. If the pain comes back, just try bumping it up by 1/2 mg. My first occurrence with PMR I was going back and forth between 1 mg and 1/2 mg until I was finally able to stop taking prednisone.
