Pred once a day or split doses?

Hello fellow poopers!!

Just wondering on how y'all take pred?

Once daily or split doses say 6am and 6pm?

I'm getting down to the infamous 20mg and wondering what works the best. I've been splitting dowes 6am and 6pm.

Thanks

Sleep is definitely a struggle with pred.

I was told by a Gastro that you should only ever have pred in the morning. Due to the way the adrenals work, you apparently get no benefit from taking any at night.

Take all of you pred first thing in the morning as it helps reduce insomnia at night, and mimics your bodies natural cortisol mechanisms better. Prednisone is synthetic Cortisol. Your body has the very highest levels of cortisol during the early am, in fact cortisol is much like an alarm clock that wakes you up in the early morning. Your body's cortisol levels then naturally fall throughout the day and are at their lowest when you go to bed and are asleep. Take Pred before bed and you'll have a loud alarm clock ringing all night long and get no sleep, insomnia like crazy!
