I started Kevzara a year ago October. I was on 15 mg of prednisone (P) and got down to 2.5 a year later without any problem. When I went to 2mg P I had some pain and then on to 1 mg P I had a lot of pain and rheumatologist put me back on 2.5 mg P. Not sure if I will ever be off P

Breathe…..Taper…..have you tried to alternate your dose when tapering at the low levels?
I.e., day 1 =2.5, day 2=2.0, day 3=2.5, day 4=2.0…etc. For a week to 2 weeks or 3 weeks etc. Tapering 2.5-2.0 maybe too big a drop.
Are you tapering your dose too quickly?
