Thanks for your reply. Yes it is a big drop. You’re right. He’s prescribed 8 mg tablets, it’s very difficult to cut them in half and then cut them in half again.
I think I will wait to reduce, I’m not feeling well, by that I mean, I still have PMR pain. He thinks because my blood work doesn’t show any inflammation, that it’s OK to start reducing .

@ga29 I would do the same. You might be someone who needs to go up, before you go down. Next RX ask for it in 5mg and 1 mg.
I never dropped my dose until I was pain free for 3 weeks minimum.
