Wasn’t Weaned Off Prednisone
UpdatedHas anyone else had a bad reaction to a doctor not weaning them off of prednisone properly? I was on 20 mg twice a day for two weeks and stopped cold turkey. The doctor didn’t prescribe anything further and I've been going horrible side effects. Went back to the doctor. He didn’t do anything to help. Acted like it was in my head and finally got a new doctor to help but it’s been four months with trying to get weaned off properly as the new doctor Who is very helpful, kind of got me when I was already a mess. Seemed to have drug induced Cushing's disease, possibly?
