I have been on 5 mg prednisone for 3 months. i've been told to stop taking it for 24 hours for a test, what might i expect (bad side effects?)

Not enough info: To answer this question one would have to know why you are taking Prednisone in the first place. That said, it is likely there would be no problems stopping such a low dose for 24 hours.
