A member asked:
On prednisone x1yr.now on 4mg.normally take at 6am in morning but can't take until 3pm due to acth test.might i run into withdrawal symptoms that day?

ACTH: I don't understand the 3 pm timing but no harm from that. I really doubt that waiting till 3 will affect you but if it does cancel your appointment and take your medicine. Then call your doctor and explained wby.
