Safely going off DexamethasoneBy Karl J from Ogden, Utah on January 13, 2006 Category: Dexamethasone I have been taking a 4MG dose three times a day at meal times of Dexamethasone for the past two weeks while undergoing whole brain radiation to eliminate 6 renal cell carcenoma tumors resulting from my stage four Renal Cancer. I only have three more days of the brain radiation treatment. The drug works very well. At my Dr.s advice I elimiated last evening's dose, had the best nights rest since going on Dexamethasone, but also awake this morning with a slight headache. I am anxious to withdraw from Dexamethasone as soon as safely possible so I can begin my next round of Interluken 2 treatments. Your advice to aid in this withdrawal will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for you assistance. God bless you in your great work! Karl J |
