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

See if you can get an RX for the 1 mg and 2.5 mg prednisone tablets. It's much easier to taper gradually with the smaller dosage pills.

Thanks John. Yes I will if the Neurologist who prescribes them will ever get back to me. I just had the 5 mg pills refilled but that's the last one. Hopefully the next one will be 1 mg or at the very least 2.5. Have you experienced or heard of anyone who's body is creating more saliva, either because of the PMR or Prednisone? Such weird things go on.
