I have been taking predezone for 5 months and i am on 10 mg a day. i started out at 15 mg. will this cause damage? do i need to worry?

You are probably: taking prednisone for a good reason, but taking it for a longer period of time can have harmful effects. You will need supplemental steroids for stress because your body will not produce needed steroids. You were able to reduce dosage which is good.
