If you have tapering problems below 5 mg this might explain why.

Just checking, can't you use a combination of 2.5 mg and 1 mg prednisone pills to taper by .5 mg?
A 2.5 and 2 1s would give you 4.5. I apologize if I'm missing something.

I was only prescribed 5 and 1 mg tablets. I need to be diplomatic about the dosing because when I originally asked about the half mg tapering I was told " I don't do that".
So next visit in a couple weeks I will don my 'diplomat hat' and approach the half mg taper again by asking for some 2.5 mg tablets. Thanks very much for the suggestion.
