Stopping prednisone...gradually and safely....
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: Jun 12 6:13am | Replies (5)Comment receiving replies
I taped it down for a month and found that within a week I was getting so exhausted in the afternoon I had to sleep. Over at the ancan.org weekly online prostate cancer forum They discussed that one week. Turns out a number of people there had stopped too quickly and had major fatigue problems. It can take two or three months of taping to avoid the fatigue. Your body is waiting to start producing cortisol at normal levels, For some, it is slower than others.

Thank you Jeff for the info...if I might ask.. I have been at 5mg for 4 months...how long were you on it and what was your dose? what was your ending dose? It took you a month to get over SE?
First week was the worse? Did you take a little more to feel better but not the original dose?
Might be best to take more of a reduced dose (oxymoron!) at the start then flatten the curve towards the end? Im going to make a little graph and think about this....thanks! Any thing I can eat or take to help my adrenals get back to "normal" ?
