Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Hi Yes prednisone is real hard to come off if you have been on it a long time I am afraid it may take you a long time to get off it all together. I did. That is why I wont stay on it to long now. The slower you come off it the better.. Good luck with it and I hope you dont suffer to much while weaning down from it. love Joyce xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx tdianaok <tdianaok@...> wrote: Dear Lynn, I am sorry that your going through this.
