To me it seems that if she had her blood drawn 6 hours after taking med that it is past the initial full strength  part of the day. I don’t understand why it would be that high that late after taking her Dex.

  I went back to taking mine not at 3 am but at 4 am. At least if I can’t go back to sleep (like now) then I would have gotten that extra hour in. Now it works out just fine.

  Susan,  I have migraines too, and what I’ve found it too much and not eneough cortisol may be a factor in them. Growing up (not on Dex) I had horrific migraines, then on the 7 years I had been taking too much Dex I had them that landed me in the ER. Right now as I type my head is banging. With me anything can trigger them But I have found that this year the migraines have not been as freaquent considering where I work is full of dust and who knows what, to affects my sinus.

  Plus, I have a question, on the day you had your blood drawn this time, was it the day you take .5 mg and the last time which was it?  Take care, Michelle
