Hello Scobie! How long have you been on 100mg? And what for...if not a silly question?

I have, for some time, been “in conversation “ with my gp and nurse practitioners on this subject. Suffering from frequent copd/emphysema flare ups my proscriptions for Prednisolone have been frequent and they are concerned re side effects: I am concerned about my day to day quality of life!!

Anyway, I am “supposed” to take 30mg

for five to seven days and then reduce by 5mg a day and stop.

What is your regime?

All the best for now...Ian.

Hi, I have been on this dose over a month for brain tumours and swelling in brain, started reducing 5 days but foggy head worse 😢 and more tiered and no energy

So sorry to hear that. Scobie.

I am really so unqualified to respond in an informed way except to say that I am tired much of the time, sleep a lot in daytime as well as deeply at night and always have a downer when the Preds are reduced.

(Don’t have the foggy head-have pea soup lungs!)
