Our experience is similar to those posted: we decided to put our daughter (then 8) on this schedule because she was gaining weight so rapidly, despite healthy eating and exercise, and not growing much.

Within 3 months, her blood levels showed she was getting TOO MUCH hydrocortisone, and we were able to cut her amounts back by 1/3! A year and a half later, she’s grown, has actually LOST some weight without any changes to her diet or exercise, and her levels are good.

We dose at 9am (2.5), 3pm (5), 9pm (2.5) and 3am (5), and it works well for us. We’ll keep on this schedule until someone convinces me there’s a better way!!
