Not recommended: Do not stop taking Prednisone without talking to your doctor first. If you suddenly stop taking prednisone, your body may lacking enough natural steroids to function normally. This may cause extreme tiredness, weakness, upset stomach, sores in the mouth. if you are taken Prednisone for a while, call your prescribing physician for medication adjustment. Be well.
