Tapering & withdrawal symptoms

[Liby57]

Hi I’ve just found article someone else had posted (sorry I’ve lost but post so can’t find who sent it) but I think it is useful and thought I’d repost it . 4mind4life.com/prednisone-w...

A very interesting read. Currently on 4mg prednisolone, diagnosed February 2018. Started on 30mg and unfortunately had 4 flares over that period. I was on 1 mg for a couple of months and that was fine at the time.

I started June 2020 and did manage to get to 2mg but then had a flare and to raise the dosage. I took the advice of more experienced members on this forum and started to reduce again but at a much slower pace ie .25mg. I am now at 2mg and still taking it slowly. I have a slight manageable flare when I drop but this usually subsides after a few days so based on the article I think and hope it is withdrawal symptoms 🤞

There are some nasty withdrawal symptoms.
