I think I did 1 mg every two weeks. So the first month I went down to 3 mg from 5. Second month same thing, 1 mg every two weeks. After two months on Kev, I was at 1 mg of prednisone. Another two weeks and I was done with prednisone. My rheumatologist said some people drop 1 mg per week but that just sounded too fast. I was lucky. I feel the Kevzara went right to work on my behalf. Best wishes to you as you continue the journey!
