diazepam tapering added prednisilone

[130396]

i was put on diazepam 7 weeks ago for excruciating muscle spasms left side of back. Didn’t wirk so after 4 weeks started tapering.

On Saturday dr added prednisilone. Spasms stopped within 24hrs.

I’ve now been told that to take steroids while tapering makes withdrawals much worse.

Is this true as before adding the steroids I’d dropped from 15mg to 10mg.

I dropped to 9mg yesterday & today those muscles that were spasming until the steroids kicked in are aching bad today.

Is there any truth in steroids added while in tapering

Thank you
