Help finding pred tapering file

[Singr]

Looking to reduce my pred under 10mg. Tried it 3 times before as per GP instructions and ended up depressed, emotional and near psychotic. Going to try sufferers path now.

I’m using the app but can’t find the file.

Thanks in advance

Oh thanks

In this instance tapering should be like emptying the ocean with a spoon vs opening a dam.

I've been using the dsns method linked here. I love the easy print out too. At 10mg I used the 37 day taper. Once I got lower I used the longer taper. I take the Rayos form of Pred so my reductions are by 1mg. . Right now I'm hanging out at 3 mg for a while. My timing down to 2 was not good. Fighting everyone's flu, allergies, and problematical digestion was too much. I guess I'm saying that whatever the taper, I have found it important to accommodate it to external circumstances, and the body one finds oneself in at the time of journey down.

Hi, I doing pmrpro’s slow taper and finding it ok so far. I’ve done a chart which I have stuck on my fridge door. Helps keep track of the dosage.

Keep trying! It took me 4 attempts to reduce and I finished up on the dead slow approach. It took me over 6 months to get down from 6 to 5 mg, but over a year later I am still ok.

Good luck!

Well I don’t feel psychotic or emotional today. I reckon the fluoxetine is helping with that. Dropped by 1/2. Feel no different. Back up tomorrow
