queensland.. i go through a bottle of dexamethesone in two weeks. i am also on
fludrocortisone and thyroxine for thyroid. i was prednisone and hydrocortisone
but the took me off it they said i didnt have enough cortisone in my system. i

yourself. Second, if you were put on 5mg dex, "2in
the morning and 1 at night" adds up to 3! Third, if you are on 5 mg dex your
brain is fried
already. The dose is 0.50mg and even that dose, if calculated as 50 to 80X
stronger than
HC as recommended by the English ASddisons Association, is too much. Personally
I hated
dex... it never shuts off; in normal people no HC whatsoever (unless feverish)
is produced
from 4 hours before bedtime through the first 4 hours of sleep. Pred will do in
a pinch but
dex is horrible...my personal opinion of course. P.S. the worst thing you can do
is justify
and start taking too much steroid. I just spent 10 days with a neuro-endocrine
pharmacologist on a boat and he says anything more than 20 mg HC or 5 mg pred
and
you are really asking for trouble. Jim
