weaning down from stress dose for illness

[Guest guest]

Hi Val,

I'm more or less over my cold/flu and no longer taking big doses of hc

(was up to 65-70mg for at least 3 days), but I need help coming up with a

wean-down schedule.I take my hc at 6, 10, 2 and bedtime.

I went from 20-20-20-10 to 20-20-20-5 (thursday) to 15-15-10-5 (friday)

to 15-10-10-5 (saturday), but I think it was too quick.

Currently (sunday), I'm back to dosing : 15-15-10-5, but having trouble

holding to this. I am feeling better and better all morning but after 1

or 2 in the afternoon, I get really fatigued, and by 6 pm I feel ill.

Yesterday I stress dosed 2.5 twice and same today (lowering my bedtime

dose to 2.5).

Can you help me come up with a plan?

Many thanks!
