10th May 2008
Today was supposed to be my first day of attempting to wean of 10 of my 30 mg of cortef. I recently weaned off florinef due to swelling and heirline fractured my left foot due to blacking out without warning.
My blood pressure is still very low 90/59 sitting with a pulse of 70 90/61 standing with a pulse of around 91 to 100. My clumisness is better. It has now been two weeks today, took a month to get off.
I was supposed to cut my noon dose of cortef in half and then take my 10 mg at 5 which would put me at 25 instead of 30. I am supposed to maintain this pattern for three weeks and then cut out the noon dose and then just take the am and pm doses at 20.
Needless to say I tried. I made it until 3:45 felt the need to go to sleep and dizzy so I took the half from lunch and cut it in half again and took it at 6 and the dizziness is better, but still there.
Anyone else expereince this when trying to reduce dose?
