Guest guest Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Here is something which was posted some years ago to the Long Island List when it was the only SCD list. To those trying a slow prednisone wean, Since Ben is 9, he sees a pediatric GI who follows an extremely conservative prednisone weaning schedule that maybe some of you " older " folks would be interested in. I think this schedule is typical for kids but I don't know about adults. Of course, check with your doctor first. It starts when you get down to 20 mg. two weeks - alternate 20mg/15mg every other day two weeks - alternate 20 mg/10mg every other day two weeks - alternate 20 mg/5mg every other day two weeks - alternate 20 mg/0 mg every other day two weeks - 15 mg every other day two weeks - 10 mg every other day two weeks - 5 mg every other day two weeks - 2.5 mg every other day Be well, Caryl mom of Ben, Crohn's 1 year, SCD 3 weeks — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
