How did you cope with the side effects tapering off prednisone?

True on the ego and just wanting to be off prednisone. I was so excited when I thought I would be okay at 7.5. Then reality set in. Also, it would be good if you could get 1 mg. prednisone in addition to 5 mgs. That makes tapering much easier.

I have to call the neurologist for a repeat, so I'll ask him for 1 mg. tablets. Sadly, I just had the 5 mg. prescription refilled, so it'll be awhile. Pharmacy won't let you trade them in. Yes...I would like to be off Prednisone, but not at the cost of the inflammation building up. Ugh. I can't imagine (or rather can imagine). Slow and steady wins the race is what my Dad used to say. Take care. 🙂
