Apo-prednisone 5mg (Top voted first)

What is the best time to take my 6 pills, i know i have to take it with food but should i take it first thing in the morning or wait till supper time. I see one side affect is trouble sleeping, so wondering if that can be avoided by when i take it. Also he has me taking it for 14 days at the same dose. I read you need to slowly go off this drug. Is that true for 14 days?

Hello, Sue! How are you?

Taking them in the morning is usually best, to try to minimize the insomnia and restlessness at night.

From what I've researched anything less than 3 weeks usually doesn't need to be tapered, but you should check with your doctor to be sure.

Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness and fluid retention.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Thanks for the information it helped a lot? I also was wondering if there is certain foods i should not have with these pills. I know some medication you cant have grapefruits or orange juice etc and since heartburn is one of the side affects i figured i should ask. Someone at my work said not to have bananas, i cant figure out why i cant have them.
