Splitting dose of prednisone

Anyone have any experience with splitting pred? I've been on 40mg for a few weeks and have been taking it all in the morning. Then the rest of the morning all the way through the evening I'm pretty good. Then in the middle of the night and in the early morning I have quite a few BM's. Yesterday I started splitting the dose, 20mg at 7 am and 20mg at 7 pm and it seemed to give me some better results in the middle of the night. Only had to get up once. Hoping that this helps out permanently.

And whats everyone's experience with 6mp been like? My doc keeps talking about it but I've heard some bad stuff about it. So I'm a little reluctant to take it.

My doc had me split my pred up into multiple doses. When I was on 40 mg, I took 10 at breakfast, 10 at lunch, 10 at dinner, and 10 at bedtime. Each time I dropped, I'd drop the latest dose of the day - so when I went to 30 g, I dropped the bedtime dose.

I can say that I had little to no side effects from the pred and that I was able to taper off easily. Who knows if it was due to the split dosing, or if I was just one of the lucky ones.
