Prednisone advice

[Allfurcoatandnoknickers]

Just been given prednisone x8 for five days. I had them two years ago in hospital and was manic and couldn’t sleep. What’s the latest in the day I should take them? My other half just gone to get them and so my first dose will be about 11.30. Should I hold off and take them tomorrow??

Definitely take the first dose ASAP. Then form then on, take them on waking.
Good luck. Hope they work. They are wonder drug but also have horrid side effects

I think it's accumulative from recent experience so take first dose ASAP then the rest as early in the morning as you can.

I had a drink and biscuit beside the bed so I could take first thing.

Had two doses now and as predicted was wide awake last night! Also had hot sweats - great. Coughed up blood this morning but went to walk in centre and chest clear and no temp so lots of steam for sinuses, fluids and rest....

If it's any consolation your sleep should return to normal after the course is complete. I had them last year with identical results.

It is such a short course, so don't worry any side effects will be very short lived.

You could try setting an alarm for 4:30am or something .... keep some biscuits/water by your bed.
