Agree with above comments. Abrupt discontinuation of prednisone at this dosage level can result in severe and potentially life threatening complications. Please talk to your doctor about this. Hope all goes well for you and you are able to achieve a lasting remission.

@mark2471 Hi , I have been taking Prednesone for 3 weeks 15mg per day , I spoke to my dr today and he said it is safe to just stop when course is finished , but I’m very concerned . I have been taking these for rheumatoid arthritis, can anyone put my mind at rest ?
