Hi Aimee, I am considering doing the same. I have been on the .375mg of Dex actually for 2 years now. I know that my last labdraw was really out of wack because I didn’t take my dose right. I ask the doc today if we can do a draw at the end of this month with just the .375 Dex to see how it comes out. If it is around the 1000-1200 mark (17ohp) I will stay there. I just cannot handle the .5, so weird because I survived 7 years on more than that.  I do want to change to Hydro though, especially if my levels are still high. I can say though that everything else in in the normal range, which is strange to me. Seems that my testosterone would at least be high.

 You say that it is easier on your body, how do you mean? I want my daughter to stay on hydro, she is doing so well now and on a minimal dose. I know that Pred and Dex are longer lasting but they seem to be so hard on the body (side affects) Hydro also can be manipulated easier than the others. Like there is no way to add just a little onto the .375, I’d have to go all the way to .5. This is silly, but it is my sanity we are talking about here. I can’t really stress dose easily with Dex either because the coming down part gives me the heeby jeebies.

 So I think I read you are doing well on 25mg of Cortef, I’m glad gives me hope...Take care thanks for posting
