Abiraterone Can cause serious fatigue problems for some people. Prednisone can make a big difference in that fatigue. Usually, the doctor starts off with 5 mg of prednisone but 10 mg is also a standard dose. Increasing prednisone to 10 mg can usually make a big difference in fatigue since it will restore the cortisol that has been lost by taking abiraterone.

A doctor at one of the conferences talked about his fatigue and increasing prednisone to resolve it.

Ask your doctor about this, Request an increase in prednisone.
