Guest guest Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Prednisolone taper I think my adrenals are busted and I need to fix the situation. Chelation is stress on the body so I need to help my adrenals to cope with this stress. I will soon try low dose Cortef < 20mg/day but I doubt this will completely clear the stress of my adrenals. So I will eventually consider a Prednisolone taper. Do you have successful experiences with this? From the Autism forum, I know TK that you did 3 of them but at what doses and how many days? What was your conclusion? I was thinking about Andy's 5 day taper on page 190 (It is a 7 day taper but he says omit day 1 and 2 for a five day taper). I must admit I'm a little scared because Prednisolone is 4 to 5 times as potent as Cortef so on a 5 day taper, the first day calls for 6 x 5mg Prednisolone which is equivalent of 120mg of Cortef. I weight about 125 pounds. ph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
