Tapering

Posted by christi48 @christi48, Oct 23, 2022

I'm curious how people manage to taper 1mg at a time. I only know about pills that are 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg and so on. How do you measure 1mg?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) Support Group.

I just tapered my prednisone dose from 9 mg to 8.5 mg. Previously, when I tapered by 1 mg. , as directed by my rheumatologist, I always had a relapse. Now I am tapering by .5 for 15 days and then another .5 for 15 days. This is working for me so far.
