I went down 1/2 mg at a time and the schedule is this, alternating days:
(HD=higher dose - what you’re taking now, LD = new lower dose- .5 mg lower than HD)
HD, HD, LD, HD, HD, LD
HD, LD, HD, LD, HD, LD
HD, LD, LD, HD, LD, LD
LD, LD, LD, LD, LD, LD
At this point you’re down by .5 mg, and you start over with that being the new higher dose.
So it takes almost 8 weeks to go down a whole milligram. A couple of times I felt a little soreness creeping back when I got totally down to the new LD, and I just stayed put there for an extra week and the soreness resolved.
I will be always grateful to whoever originally posted this schedule here- I can’t find that original post- maybe that person will read this and have more comments. This schedule has really worked for me at these low levels of prednisone. If it is confusing, let me know and I’ll be very happy to send you an example.
