Group,

Those of you who have used a tapering dose of Prednisone, and have had to repeat it once or twice to get out of a CH cycle, please tell me: Do you take a short break between tapers, or do you start right in with the high dose the day after the lowest one? I'd like to know, I'm fixing to start my third round next week.

My dose is 60 mg per day, tapering by 10 mg every three days down to zero. The CH frequency and severity have really decreased during this second round, and I have a feeling that a third one might do the trick. Lithium, Sansert, and Verapamil have all failed to help this year.

Thanks!!

Dave
