@caroljeand Congratulations! I had some minor issues a couple of weeks after I stopped, but nothing too serious. I felt a little depressed and tired for a couple of weeks. A month after I stopped I noticed that my metabolism was back to normal. I could eat more and burn it off. I felt like the prednisone was completely out of my system after about 4 months. But maybe you will recover faster than that.

Possibly…I have a great appetite and haven’t felt too many physical issues. Mostly my normal joint pains and some fatigued and weak muscles. I expect it’s going to take several weeks for everything to get back to normal.
