Hi, i have had my struggles with tapering prednisone and at certain levels of dosage. What I found is to go slow, stay on a regiment. For me, I averaged a drop of 1 mg took about a month to reduce. Each time I tapered my body would ache for a few days and then it would mellow out. My most recent drop (3mg) has been somewhat difficult. It has been about 4 days, but the 2nd and 3rd day were very interesting as for the first time I not only felt the body affects, but was somewhat depressed - this seldom ever happens to me. Therefore I rested and now on 4th day I feel more like myself. Stay the course - feel better.
