Many of us have learned different ways of tapering pred from our docs. I thought we could have a thread to list the various ways.
Please remember that tapering pred has 2 major risks-- triggering Wegs and causing the adrenals to fail. Do not attempt to lower your pred even a little bit without your doctor's okay, and definitely get his/her okay before trying any of the plans in this thread.
I googled "Weaning from prednisone" today and found a few methods I hadn't heard of. They both have good reasoning behind them. I don't know or endorse anything else about the websites.
