A member asked:

I'm 21 & have been taking prednisone daily for 2 weeks (20 mg & now 10) due to mono. my doctor wants me to stop the 10 mg cold turkey. is this safe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Only 2wks so OK: Prednisone 20mg is not a high dose at all and only using for 2 wks, weaning is not necessary. You are 21 yr old and presumably have no other health issue, i would be very surprised if you feel anything at all from stopping the Prednisone at this stage. I wish you a speedy recovery from the mono (aka kissing disease)..Best of luck to you.
