I personally have not taken an oral dose that high, but I have heard of others that have.

I've not heard of people taking that high a dose in tablet form where I live, but apparently the IV MethylPred 1000mg dose can be diluted with orange juice and drunk. So I guess it's the same thing, and much more convenient than going to the hospital and getting wired up to an IV.

What does surprise me though is that you've taken your dose at night. Prednisolone, Methyl Pred, and any steroids can make you really hyperactive and thus keep you wide awake at night. For this reason steroids are usually taken in the mornings to counteract this side effect.

Remember to take them with food too RedPenguins as the gastric side effects can be really unpleasant otherwise.
