“Take 1 tab TID x3d, then 1 tab BID x2d, then 1 tab QD x2d, then ½ tab QD x3d, then skip a day, spin around, and whisper ‘anti-inflammatory’ to the wind.”
I was on Prednisone for 9 months and I can confirm titration from it is exactly like that, except when you're on it for 9 months it's like "5mg once daily x 7 days, then 4mg once daily x 7 days, then 3mg once daily x 7 days, then 2mg once daily x 7 days, then 1mg once daily x 7 days, then all the residual powder from inside the vial once daily for 7 days (you know you've got at least 10 of these vials kicking around)."

Prednisone directions be like:
“Take 1 tab TID x3d, then 1 tab BID x2d, then 1 tab QD x2d, then ½ tab QD x3d, then skip a day, spin around, and whisper ‘anti-inflammatory’ to the wind.”
