Hi,
Since you have been using Prednisolone without much problem I suggest you to continue with it. If you start using other drugs which are new to your body it can be problamatic for you for few days.
Since you are active at this age why to simply change drugs. In my opinion please do continue the same.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
