Quick Question

[Southmead]

Once I again I'm consulting the oracle, and thank god for this site!I have been lowering Pred on the slow taper plan. Down to one day old dose which was 5 mm, and 2 days new dose 4.5mm, etc.

This morning being half asleep I used the pill cutter for what I thought was the half 1mm pill. I then realized I had cut a 5mm in half, and I had already taken the 2x5mm of Pred, , along with 2.5mm half. Basically I had got my 1mm pred mixed up with 5mm pred.

I have gone from 4.5mm to 12.5 mm of Pred, which is quite a jump. Q; For tomorrow should just carry on with my 4.5mm or miss a day?

Thank You!!

Don't worry about it, taking too much by mistake is so much better than not taking enough or forgetting to take your tablets at all. That can be very unpleasant!! Just carry on as normal.

Carry on as if this hadn’t happened and just have a nice day. X We have all done similar.

Thanks I will

As the others have already mentioned, just enjoy your day and carry on as normal. May be worth thinking about getting your next days tablets sorted the night before so you don't have to worry or think about it in the morning.

I make a calendar for the week with the correct taper doses written for each day. Then I fill a capsule for each day and put it into a 7 day pill box. I double check my dose each day with the calendar and the capsule. I have a pill cutter though some can be broken by the scored line.

Thanks, yes just got the hang of the pill cutter..
