Key Takeaways:
1. Prednisone is a synthetic hormone that mimics the body's natural hormone cortisol.
2. It is typically taken all at once in the morning with a glass of water to mimic the body's natural cortisol rhythm.
3. Taking prednisone early in the day helps prevent insomnia, a common side effect of the medication.
4. Prednisone can cause numerous side effects, including insomnia, gastrointestinal issues, weight gain, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and eye problems.
5. Gradually tapering off prednisone is necessary to allow the body's HPA axis to recover and prevent adrenal crisis. Suddenly stopping prednisone can be dangerous and should only be done under a doctor's supervision.

Thank you Dr Megan. It is worrying that you get none of this from a GP and frankly I dont think many of them understand. Best wishes from New Zealand
I read for RA it's better to take at night...and that is working better for me than taking in the morning.

I got prescribed prednisone for chronic bronchitis I get from allergies, it's true. Prednisone does take your sleep away. One day I took it late and I could not sleep at night that day. It was horrible.

I have to take pantropazole when I take high dosage of prednisone I got an ulcer when I didn't so I would advise to take a stomach protector if your taking over 20 mg of prednisone
I find that the gastric acid problem happens when the prednisolone effects wear off. Not during their effect. And with the side effects from tapering off PPIs (like drop in executive functioning skills [especially for adhd and autistic patients], confusion etc) i would prefer using sodium bicarbonate against reflux
Thanks you
If people take prednisone and antibiotics doctors don't tell them they can get candida overgrowth.
do menopause HRT at the same time as this stuff
I m taking 160 mg orally for transplant rejection
Originally I was on 40mg per day. After weeks at a time I tapered to 30, 20, 10, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1mg per day. When I got to 3mg per day I started to feel aches throughout my entire body when I get up and down. After 14 days I went to 2mg per day. Aches got worse. Now I am on 1mg per day for 9 days. Very achy when I get up and down but I am okay when moving. I want to get off the pill. Doctors are not much help. They say “try it and get back with me.” I will stop taking the pill after 14 days of taking 1mg. I am thinking I can get off the pill and just deal with a few aches when I get up and down. Any comments?

What were you diagnosed with?
Doesn't the early morning dose gonna play havoc with your blood glucose levels?

Good question. It makes a lot more sense to have your blood glucose high when it is normally high than when it should be lower (while you sleep). During the day you can move your body to use up the glucose, whereas at bedtime you can't.
How long does it take to lose all the weight gained once you stop taking Prednisone?
