Taking prednisone will keep you wired and more energy than you need. Insomnia is a a problem and weight gain be careful what you take. Cheers
I've always taken it in the morning to avoid an increase in sleep issues
Wow I can’t believe the doctor told you to take it in the morning and at night.
When i was with kaiser insurance my Doctor had me take 4 mg at breakfast & 4 mg at bedtime, i had a hard time sleeping i would ask my doctor because most people said it was the prednisone keeping me awake, but she said no thats how im suppose to take it, & she wouldnt change when i was on higher doses she always had me take the higher dose of prednisone at bedtime i couldnt ever figure her out as to why when i switched insurance a couple years ago my new Drs. Were number one upset thar ive been on prednisone for almost 20 years so they tried tapering me off, where kaiser said i would never go below 8 or 10 mg. After i started taking the prednisone twice aday thats when i was hit with all the side affects & the weight gain. But now that im with providence im on a maintanence dose of 5mg aday , i was lower but my B/P dropped to low, but my adrenal glands we cant get to kick in on there own.. i like to go lower but dont know how to do that ? But once i got off from taking prednisone at night i sleep much better. For the most atleast until recently .
I think its best to take in the morning, atleast for me it was .
