Prednisone 40mg, all at once or spread? Reason for question in thread

The reason I’m asking why I should spread is because :
When I take all at once in the morning, I end up waking in the middle of the night and pooping 5 times. Then waking up tired and weak before my next dose kicks in.
Yesterday I tried splitting. 50% at morning and 50% at late afternoon. And 0 trips to bathroom at nighttime, infact I’m still not going to the bathroom today.
Opinions? Should I ask doc?

Talk to your doc
They can instruct on what is ok to do in your case
Ds’s Gi has him split the dose 50-50 until he gets under 10 mg the then just dose in the AM ....
But everyone’s doc is different
