You will have to taper it for at least two or three months. If you stop too quickly you can have significant fatigue.

I should have asked more specifically. I’ve seen some descriptions of Abiraterone being an irreversible inhibitor of CYP17 and wasn’t sure if that meant long term (lifetime) use of prednisone or something else would be required. Or can just live with it somehow.

Thank you,
Phil
