I also am scheduled to go from 5 to 4 today. I was told I could drop 1 mg every 2 weeks from 5 to 3, then reevaluate. I'm on 8mg per week of Methotrexate for RA that I developed 2 months after the PMR. Rheumatologist wants to first concentrate on getting off Prednisone, then the Methotrexate. Also Hematoligist has got me down to 2.5mg Eliquis for a DVT. Hopefully get off this next month. This getting old sure isn't easy.
