How's the weaning going? Have you been on Pred a long time? Like Maurice said, it can be a very tricky process if you've been on Pred for awhile.

If you have any signs of extreme sleepiness, irritability, sweating or feeling "out of it," call your doctor or go in right away. People can have adrenal insufficiency even when on Pred a short time. It's nothing to mess with and is an emergency. I'm not saying that to scare you but to protect you!

It's always best to have a talk with your neuro and/or primary doctor about this. I hope it's going well.
