Tapering Hydrocortisone. Uny/Anyone please chime in.

I was wondering. I've been having major issues lately with my blood sugar, when I really shouldn't be.

I'm eating Dr C's Mucousless diet and have put on 25lbs since last summer when I went vegan and ditched paleo.

I'm still on Valium, HC, Thyroid, and Prozac.

I've managed to taper down from 15mg Valium to 13.5 over the past 1.5 months or so. To say that it's been hard is an understatement.

I was wondering. Because I've been on HC for 3 years now. Am I at risk of becoming dependent indefinitely on the steroid if I don't start tapering off?

I've heard of people being on Benzos for 20+ years and tapering off...

I haven't heard the same regarding Hydrocortisone.

What does a sane/safe tapering schedule look like for HC?

5-10% every 2 weeks?

Any help, especially from Uny, would be great.

Thanks! Tweet
