Slow Taper Calendar

6 Replies

Hello all. I'm on 5mg pred and stable after a good few weeks and think I'm fit to take next step in taper. I had been doing a .25mg a week drop but went a bit wonky at 4.5mg. I think I might be better served to try the proper slow taper. I saw the resource for devising your own taper that you can print out a calendar but what with a brain full of treacle and so on, I can't remember where that resource is. Anyone able to point me in the right direction? Many thanks in advance. :)

Hi Cliff,

It's steroidtaper@azurewebsites.net

I've found it really useful.

There may be no @, but if you google steroid taper, you should find it.
