I can't give you an answer to your question. For me, pred caused me to lose control of my appetite. I think my temper was a little shorter, but because I'm retired, I didn't get out much... I'd like to think your symptoms will reduce when you get to about 20-25 mg.
Be careful tapering. If you go too fast, you may trigger a flare. Also, your adrenals need time to remember to start making cortisol again.
It's taken me most of 9 months to taper from 60 down to 3 where I've been holding for three months while we see whether or not I can get off mtx.
Weggies prayer: God, give me patience - TODAY!!
