I was splitting my dose in anticipation of being asked to lower my dose and also to try to alleviate some acid reflux issues...15+10 didn't work to alleviate the pain so I tried 20+5 and 15+5+5. I think the 25mg is the minimum I need to get the pain down to a functional level. I'm trying 20mg with breakfast and 5mg with lunch but that didn't work for me yesterday. I probably should be on 30mg but that could come with more or stronger side effects and more difficulty tapering down. I think I'm stuck where I am until I see the hematologist on the 22nd to see what else is going on with me.

You are your one best judge. Talk to PCP and see if she will help you decide abt upping PRED now. Mine did.
