Hi there. I recommend you ask your doctor to prescribe 1 mg. prednisone. Once you reach 10 mgs. you should only drop 10% at a time. I went even slower and went to 9.5 for a month and then 9. Slow and steady seems to work for most people.

Thank you for this insight. I have a request in to my doctor to prescribe 1 mg. I was not even aware that 1 mg was available, and have been splitting those tiny 5 mg pills which seems an extremely inexact thing to do.
