I think the drug queries you have can really only be answered by you and your neuro, as mg affects us all so differently, what works for one may not work for another. While one is on low pred another might be on high pred and another may be on none at all.
Since my last setback and increase in pred, I have put on heaps of weight, because the pred made me ravenous, and I'd never experienced this before, not even when I was first on it. I hope this helps some, but feel free to ask any questions you may have, Im happy to help!!
