Is this the end or …?

I’ve been reducing steroids for many months and am now taking one mg every fifth day. I feel ok. I also had a molar extracted a week ago and despite my fears it went very smoothly mostly thanks to a wonderful young dental surgeon. No adverse reaction to that so am I safe to stop preds completely or do I continue with longer space between doses?. I take enteric coated tabs so cannot cut them. As always many thanks for your advice. Best wishes to all

It is always a bit of a gamble and your tiny dose is no risk, if there is a logical conclusion to your taper system, I would carry on to the end, or just stop on a good day. Fingers crossed.

Thank you. Fingers firmly crossed

That is great - really promising! It is up to you - you could just keep increasing the space until one day you forget altogether and realise nothing happened! Or you could try just stopping!!!

Why not try in six days, then seven days etc etc and then when you feel happy just STOP!

Maybe extend to every 6th then every 7th day as suggested… but you have to bite the bullet one day!
