Guest guest Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 There is an interesting site about the discontinuation of prednisone. Long term use of the higher doses of prednisone must be watched very closely. I don't know about the use of very low doses. The side effects might be dose related? http://www.druginfonet.com/index.php?pageID=faq/faqpredn.htm http://www.rxlist.com/rxboard/prednisone.pl?noframes;read=1255 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Hi Everyone, Well, I'm in my 7th week of living with AH and all has been pretty good. My weekly blood tests show my liver is improving and I'm now no longer jaundice! Because of the improvements, my doctor lowered my prednisone from 20mg to 15 mg a week ago. Now I have fevers, nausea and fatigue. My acid reflux and gas has also returned full force. Are these side effects of prednisone tapering or should I be calling my doctor tomorrow? I appreciate your feedback! Cheerio, Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
