my nurse told me not to take it past 6 pm...i have not started mine. i was given pred. two days ago. the relief will only be a temp solution anyway, so why should i bother? as for the Zipsor they gave me to try, it makes me dizzy...there was a time when i could at least lay down and get some relief but now it even hurts when i am lying down.
