Inadvertent taper of prednisolone

[Udupik]

I inadvertently took 5mg instead of 10mg prenisolone for 2 days( before which everything was fine) and all my inflammation symptoms of my uveitis came back(haziness etc). . Now I'm back on 10mg . Any idea how long it would take for these symptoms to resolve itself?

Should be within a few days - but what we on PMRGCAuk do in such a case where symptoms have reappeared is we add 5mg for a few days until they ARE ok and then go straight back to the regular dose.

Many thanks.

Yes 'Up' your Dose- to maybe 12mg, for a few Days, before going Back to 10mg, You should be OK soon. (Don't be embarrassed.... we have ALL 'Done' it!)

Thanks Andrew. I did just what you said and the problem had resolved. Now I need to go back to 10mg.
