Hi,

Using prednisone for a longer duration could result in side effects like Acne, dry or thinning skin, nausea,Bloating, stomach pain, mood swings, sleep issues, skin bruising or discoloration, Increased sweating, increased appetite & weight gain etc.

I advise you to:
- Consult your doctor for tapering the current dosage of the drug like lowering the doses or intermittent dosing
- Take calcium and vitamin D supplements

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
