Prednisone generic dosage of 4 (20MG) tablets every day for 2 weeks, then 3 every day for 2 weeks, then 2 every day seems to not be in align with others on this board. The initial dosage of 80 MG per days seems high and ramping down instead of up seems to be contrary to others who have provided input.
To start Prednisone tomorrow.
Any comments from anyone.

I started 80 mg a day, split dose. I had a bit of trouble with it. Furture doses were started, much lower. We can be referred to as
