Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 My doctor is beginning to wean me off prednisone and none too soon. Actually she started 4 mos ago bring me from 15 mg down to 10mg. I lost 4 lbs, yippee. Now I'll be at 9 mg. but in the meantime the prednisone has also caused my BP to go up and I've had a headache nearly constant the last 3 weeks. Not bad enough to have migraines on occaision, but double that with these high bp headaches! Discouraging. I see my pcp tuesday for another pill to reduce bp until I'm off pred. Oh, I hate all these pills. How do you all come off prednisone? My Rheumy wants to decrease 1 mg every 4 mos. I want to reduce faster like 1 every 2 mos. Ideas??
