1mg every two weeks under 10mg is a very fast reduction schedule which would likely invite a flare. I was reducing at about that rate (my idea, not the doctor's) when some pain started at 8mg. I was determined not to have a flare so told my doctor I wouldn't reduce further till pain was resolved.

So I moved up to 9.5mg for a week then dropped to 9mg for 4 weeks. No pain. I resumed the reduction more cautiously at .5mg every 3 weeks (1mg every 6wks - the recommended reduction schedule is 1mg every 4-8wks under 10mg). Have just reduced to 7.5mg and am doing fine so far. I alternate doses between the current dose and new dose each day in the first reduction week, to soften the reduction.

Going a little more slowly can avoid having to go back up in dose - which gives us a higher cumulative dose and takes longer to get off them. I'm no expert, just winging it like you and everyone else. Started on Prednisolone 5 months ago. I hope you find a good solution.
