I found it particularly hard to wean off prednisone. Once you step down, it takes several days or a week to recoup the ground you have lost. You shouldn't step down again until you feel stable on the current dose. At some point near the end of the weaning, your doctor should switch to prednisone every other day. This help teach the adrenal glands to start functioning again.

The mestinon may help relieve some of the symptoms that came back.


I currently had to go back up to 20 mg and now I have to start the weaning all over again.

good luck
