Prednisone tapering and extreme sweating

Hello. I just ran across this thread while searching for answers to my prednisone dilemma. I too have horrendous sweating but it’s cold clammy sweats and my skin gets very pale. Are your sweats cold or hot sweats? I’m trying to taper but it’s happening even when I’m at a physiologic dose of 7.5 mg.

I too got cold, clammy sweats while tapering steroid dosing. I was finally diagnosed with secondary adrenal insufficiency after collapsing in the street. This is a rare condition but it can kill you. Many disgnoses are made after death. Just a thought.
