The usual advice for a flare is to add 5mg to the dose where you flared for a week or so before dropping back to the dose you were last good at. Although it might be worth the consultant seeing you with the flare.

PLEASE don't use your user name as the title of a post - use it to indicate what your question/point is, attract readers and bring up Related Posts. In this case something like "flare at 2mg" would have been better, Your name will appear anyway, that is automatic.

123-go has kindly inked my post re flares - and agree with PMRpro - please don't use name as title for post - had you added flare in the title - you would have come up with related posts
