Yes man, your father would have become dependent on it now and that is the reason he is not able to live without its support. And also it should not be withdrawn all of a sudden. Should be gradually tapered and then taken off.

Hi,
why is he taking wysolone? If due to skin disease, he can switch over to Methotrexate or ther type of immunosupressant. You should see a dermatologist and an endocrinologist.
