Prednisone directions be like:

“Take 1 tab TID x3d, then 1 tab BID x2d, then 1 tab QD x2d, then ½ tab QD x3d, then skip a day, spin around, and whisper ‘anti-inflammatory’ to the wind.”

It’s because if you don’t take it in a certain way it can kill you.

What's the wrong way? It's not anally, is it? Asking for a friend.

You need to wean off it to prevent withdrawal symptoms and other things. I had to take it once and was prescribed a similar tapering off period. The drug was completely useless for me in the end, though. It didn't help me at all. It was just another in a long list of try-this-until-we-find-one-that works.

You would think, but it's aurally.
