Thank you for your reply. My Endocrinologist said she will order 1 mg tabs so I can start a slow taper in smaller increments than doing the 5 mg/2.5mg every other day for a month then 2.5 daily for a month then stop as she originally ordered. I haven’t yet seen what the taper she is going to order in 1mg increments but I’m anxious for the pharmacy to let me know it’s ready so I can get started tomorrow on the new taper. I have never wanted off of a medication so badly in my life. This stuff is horrendous. Wishing you luck with your tapper!

Can you tell me what side effects are the reason behind your tapering off prednisone ?

Would really appreciate knowing, as prednisone is prescribed for a number of different medical issues. My son is currently having an issue with it. He is not being treated for a lung problem.

Thank you.
