How Can Withdrawal Effects Of Prednisone Be Treated?

Hi, I think I m having withdrawal from prednisone. Last Thursday I went to a doctor for bronchitis illness and he gave me 20mg twice a day. I missed two doses and just took 1/2 dose tonight. I feel like I m going crazy and my bp is up. Is there any way I can relieve symptoms?

Hi,

Prednisone withdrawal: Abrupt discontinuation may result in adrenal insufficiency (e.g., fever, myalgia, arthralgia, malaise, anorexia, nausea, orthostatic hypotension, dizziness, fainting). However you are having high BP. Consult a doctor.

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

Regards,
