Dizziness and fatigue can be symptoms of adrenal insufficiency. 5 mg of prednisone is right in the area where the adrenals start to become active again. It can take several weeks or months for the adrenal glands to recover. You will need to taper slowly and be patient as your adrenals start to become active again.
