Trying to figure what happened.

I tapered to 8mgm and felt quite well at the end of that taper DSNS Then started 7.5 mgm . That day was OK and the following day I resumed the 8mgm for the next 6 days. I got in to the second day of 8s I felt absolutely “adrenal” - totally dysfunctional racing heart, dizziness, belly issues. The only thing I can think of is that, since I split tablets, I might have taken the wrong half. i.e. half a 1mgm rather that 1/2 a 5 mgm.

I have leftover pills of 10s that I make into 5s, extra 5s and plenty of ones. I try to reduce the # of pills in the capsule then put them into a daily pill organizer. I didn’t want to increase the pred but thought there was some type of deficit. I ended up taking a 1/4 mgm. Which seemed to help. I didn’t have any particulat stress to account for the dose being insufficient. Feel ok now.

Anyone else experience this?

I guess you’ll never know what you did. If you did pop the wrong strength, it would certainly account for the out of the blue adrenal low feeling. These lows can come from nowhere though. I was having a lovely stroll round a country house garden on a calm, sunny day and suddenly I couldn’t make my legs work and felt terrible. I had to be rescued on a buggy, taken for a cup of tea, a long sit down and a mg of Pred.

I misread the last sentence Snazzy, I read it as a mug of Pred. 😄😄😄

That would do it!
