We have been having much trouble getting my 9 year old son’s levels in line.  Though they are much better since we went to 3x a day dosing, he seems to be gaining weight.  I am very interested in doing the Cicadian dosing and my endo said I could give it a shot-just a little confused about when and how much and how to split the 5mg Cortef tabs.  I have been looking back through the archives at info on the Cicadian dosing and times-so far this is what I have:

Dosing times:

3am

7am

12 noon

5:30pm

These seem to be the times I saw popping up most often.  My son is currently on 25mg of Cortef a day.    According to the percentages I saw listed for each dosing time, I came up with these calculations:

3am/8.25mg=1.65tabs

7am/7.5mg=1.5tabs

12noon/5.5mg=1.1tabs

5:30pm/3.75mg=.75tabs

Are these doses right?  If so, how do I give 1.65 tabs?  That is appx 1 and 2/3 tabs, but we all know those tabs tend to crumble a bit when split.  I GREATLY appreciate any info some of you more experienced cicadian dosers may be able to share.

Thanks,

Nicole
