Side effects of stopping Clenil

Has anyone got any experience with stopping Clenil quite suddenly? I have an appointment with a respiratory specialist and have been asked to stop my meds three days before. Today is my second day without and I'm ridiculously tired. Could this be a side effect of the withdrawal? I don't have any of the other symptoms listed on the NHS website, so maybe I'm overthinking it and I'm just tired. Has anyone noticed something similar?

May be over thinking it. Get some rest.

It is difficult to know, your body have become used to the drug although only guessing. Poor you, not nice. Best to rest up & mention to the consultant. Hope it goes well.

You might get a rebound effect, such as chest tightness, wheezing, etc, but don't worry about it as it will go away when you start back on Clenil. Presumably, you can take Ventolin if you need it, so long as you don't take it within 4 hours of the appointment?

I think I was overthinking it. I had a good night's sleep and felt fine today. I guess it was too much of Dr Google telling me things about adrenal suppression from high-dose steroids.

Not what you're looking for?
