I was on 50mg for one week and just stopped. Since I was given it in the ER my dr would not help. and a call to the ER was no help. I felt horrible for About a week. more short of breath than usual. COPD.
just an all over not well feeling. now i ask about the taper down every time.

Just called back the Dr and they said not to taper. I see her a week after I'm done. She's one of the best in NE Ohio, so I'll listen to her and if there's any problem I'll call right away. thanks

You might get by with ten ore week and then five remaining. This rebound effect you have seems to be like mine. A push of prednisone may not be right for short periods. Only the doctor knows for sure what is going to help your flare ups. When you are off you flare. When on you don't. Perhaps there is a low dose that will help by keeping it continuous. Not unusual with inflammation to do this.
