prednisone

Has anyone taken 5 prednisone pills for 5 days and stopped? The doctors nurse told me to do this but I have never done it this way...always come down pill by pill. Is this a good way to do it? Thanks:)

Thanks firemt:) I was worried because I never just stopped, always went down slowly. I really appreciate all the help I get here.

The only time I took prednisone was 2 times in 2005. Mostly for my Sinuses. I took 1 pill for 5 days. The side effects are something I definetly don't want. My doctor, said he doesn't like putting people on Prednisone cause of the side effects. So I take other medical approaches. Best Wishes have a nice night. Brandi.

Thanks pegleg:) With everything I am on, I am wheezing all the time. With my eyes swollen, red and extremely painful the doc seems to think I am allergic to something I am in contact everyday. I just had blood drawn for more accurate allergy tests. Hope they find it soon. We just got a new car and I seem to have trouble every time I get into it?? Maybe something there?
