I am curious about how long it takes for Prednisone to get out of your system when you stop taking it. I was on a short term dose of 60mg for 3 days 40mgs for 3 days and then 20mgs for 5 days. I felt so terrible while taking it that after the first 20mg day I cut it in half took half that next day and then stopped. Yesterday was my first day with none. I still feel lousy...tired and just weird, spacy even. My Dr. also has me using Nasacort nasal spray each morning.
I had a sinus infection and did a course of antibiotics to get rid of it but I sure wasn't expecting the prednisone to make me feel so awful!
Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks for any input,
Blessings,
Kathy
