Hi Rob,

Personally if I forget to take the dose in the morning I take it as soon as I remember.

Rob;

I think it says for most medications that if you remember close to the time to take it go ahead but if it is closer to your next dose do not. Ask your doctor about this and I hope your dose today lets you feel better.

Thanks! I called my doc. today, he told me to take it no matter

Thanks again!

Hi Rob. I would take it as soon as you remember but don't double the dosage the next day if you forget.

I also did a "dumb" thing like this back in May or June when I got P O'd about my "physique" going away and all of the other beautiful side effects such as irritability and restlessness. I stopped taking the Prednisone cold turkey. I made it a whole day and a half before I crashed to the point where I was close to winding up in the "resort" again. I am still on 20 mg/day and can't wait to get off of them!!!
