Taking Prednisone
UpdatedI have 20mg prednisone tablet 3 tabs daily x3days, 2tabs dailyx3 then 1 tab daily 3x daily. This is going to be 2 strong for me can it be cut down the dose or can I cut the pills.? I have taken the 4mg methylprednisolone before and that was strong . So I know that I will not be able to take this much.

Hello, Frog! How are you doing?
You really can't know that it's going to be too strong for you, if you haven't tried it and yes, it does need to be taken in high doses that are then tapered to properly treat some conditions.

Have you discussed it with your doctor? They'd be best able to advise you in this matter.
