Did you speak to the GP about upping the pred that much? That is a very large increase and more than PMR usually needs.
A split dose can be MORE effective than one dose all at once - but you can't tell in advance as everyone is different.

What did doctor say? If anything.. with a doubling of dose hopefully the single morning dose will sort it, and last full 24 hours. Is that when you have been taking it? Shouldn’t make too many changes at one time.
