Pred withdrawal 5 -6 days after last dose?

Hmm those are big drops, I hope it was a short course/time on prednisone?

Going 10 to zero might have been too harsh on your system, after 3 months on prednisone. It sounds like adrenal fatigue, to me. Your adrenal system was on vacation while you were on prednisone. Once you get below 7-12mgs of prednisone, your adrenals should begin waking up and producing their own cortisol. All corticosteroids are designed to imitate the actions of the adrenal hormone, cortisol. Adrenal fatigue happens when your body isn't producing its own cortisol and the symptoms are fatigue, body aches, etc.

Ask your doctor, you might want to go temporarily back on prednisone, at a low dose to wake them up more gradually... by alternating between 10 and 5mgs day-to-day, and then weaning off again in much smaller drops.

You've been lucky so far. But the taper is always the worst. I could literally not move, fell asleep in my chair, felt like I had a 50 pound weight on my head. It ebbed very slowly, took nearly 3 months until my own adrenals kicked in. Good luck!

I'm feeling better...I figured my system was in shock...I've been taking 5mg...it's helping...I'll do that for a week then go to 2.5.

Thanks all!
