6 Day Prednisone Treatment

I have been on Prednisone for 4 days so far. 6 the first day, 5 the second, 4 the third and supposed to be 3 today. However, I only took 2 doses today before I realized that I accidentally threw the prescription out. Do I need to call the Pharmacy to get the last two days worth or will I go into withdrawal? Thanks

It would be best to consult your doctor, or pharmacist to be sure of what you should do.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, acne, fluid retention, and irritability.

How did you end up accidentally throwing it out?
