i found it really helpful reading that dividing up the dosage and taking half early in the morning would help the stiffness i was having in the morning. i began to take 5mgs pred at 2am and 5mgs at lunchtime and found it really helped. unfortunately i forgot to take the 2am dose last night and am finding that i am sweating and shaky now not sure whether i should take another 5mgs now (breakfast time) or wait until lunchtime. thanks p.s. finding this forum really helpful

Take it now if you feel unwell - too much is better than too little. But you say "another 5mg" - having said you forgot the 2am dose? What have you taken and when?

Like most meds, usual advice is to take it when you realise, so long as it's not too close to next one.
So as PMRpro says - do you mean ANOTHER 5mg - or the missed one?
Not what you're looking for?
