If you are having trouble tapering Prednisone down below 5mg?

Try removing the statins that your doctor is still insisting you take.

I was able to discontinue my statin after I got off prednisone. High cholesterol was one of my side effects from prednisone.

I see your point though. As I decreased my prednisone dose and stayed on my statin … my cholesterol level got too low. I didn’t have a high cholesterol level anymore after prednisone was stopped.
