Nicky,
First of all I am so sorry you found out you have cataracts. Geez there is no end to the devestation pred causes!!! Ok now for stopping the pred. I can't speak from experience because I am STILL trying to get off of it myself but my gut instinct is to not stop cold turkey. I really think after 10 months the risk is too great. From what I understand about weaning off pred it is when you get below 10 mg that you have to be very careful. My fear is that you will put your body into a state of shock and will go into a crisis if your adrenals have not kicked back in. Can you maybe try taking 5 mg every other day for another week? Like I said I can't speak from experience but I think going from 10 mg to nothing is too quick. I totally understand you wanting off of it!!! I am desperate too and am at 20 mg EOD and so badly want to drop to 15 mg because I am feeling better since stopping the cellcept and decreasing the pred. Is it possible that some of the symptoms you are experiencing are side effects of the Imuran? You might want to check that out. Considering the horrible way I reacted to cellcept I think that may be a possibility. Maybe someone who has come off the pred will have more info and advice. Please keep us posted on how you are doing!
