Smallest amount of prednisone for adrenal glands to work again?

That is what I have done this time to get down from 5 to 3…..very gradual transitions alternating between 5 and 4.5, then hold, 4.5 and 4, then hold, 4 and 3.5, then hold, 3.5 and 3, then hold, and now 3 mg. It has taken time. I am nervous about dropping further but will probably continue these very gradual steps. Others on this site have suggested this kind of a schedule.

@bluebird25, That’s exactly where I am! For the past 2 weeks I alternated 3.5/3 mg. This is my first week with 3 mg daily. In another 6 weeks or so, I’ll do the 3/2.5 mg alternating dosages. Good luck!!
