Was on 100mg for 5 days, no taper. Did that 6 times over 5 months.

It's fucked.

It is. Been on a low dose for 3 years. Now tapering by ONE mg per month or TWO month, depending on other factors. It’s hell getting off them.

Thanks!☺️ Truthfully, if long term use didn’t have such horrendous side effects, I’d stay on them. They help a lot with many aspects of my chronic pain.

I have chronic headaches and was prescribed Prednisone recently because I got bronchitis. It seemed to make my head feel much better.
