The first video at the start of this discussion mentions "split dose' at the 4 minute mark of the video. It is not recommended unless patients have significant pain at night.

I split my dose and was able to sleep all night without pain. It is sometimes called B-I-D dosing in the video. When I stopped having pain at night -- I stopped splitting my dose. I didn't split my dose for the whole duration of my treament of PMR. When I spit my dose. it was amazing how well it worked to relieve the night time pain I had. I usually did 2/3 of my dose in the morning and 1/3 of my dose in the evening. It shouldn't be a 50/50 split. The bigger portion should be in the morning. As usual ... discuss this with your doctor.

@eparnold0219 I found it very helpful to do say 3 one day and then 2 the next for a couple weeks and then went to 2 for a short time and then 2 and 1 etc … and actually I dropped by 1/2 for a while. It’s really no black-and-white solution. You just need to play around with your dosages. I would do whatever I chose for a few days if I didn’t feel any pain then I might drop down by another half but usually it’s two to three weeks before I would make any more drops in the milligrams
