Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 Hi, How do I raise my Cortef levels if I started on 5 mg from the start and that has been my only dose? Do I back down my dose and follow the dosing schedule in the files? I have been very sick for the last 4 days and I cannot seem to get better. How do I do the stress dosing? Thank you, Sue Quote

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 You don't need to back down you dose if you have only been doing 5 mg but I would use the ramp up in the files. Just start adding 2.5 mg increments. Some people need to ramp up quicker too. I wish I had.
