Hello. I was given 10 mg of prednisone to take for one week. I'm getting very uncomfortable anxiety now, and a little sore in my legs, it's been 5 days. I guess I'm more sensitive to this bit of higher dosage. Can I just cut it in half to make it 5mg for the next 3-5 days? I remember being put on it about three years ago and I was given 5mg, I took it for 14 days once daily and don't remember having a reaction like this, also when I stopped, tapering wasn't necessary and it was smooth sailing after. No reaction during and after treatment with the 5mg daily. With this 10mg right now however... do I need to taper off even if I just took it for one week? What would be the best thing to do right now with my situation? I'm using it for asthma.
