Off prednisone for over 2 weeks and still having bad withdrawals. was only on it for a week to treat bronchitis symptoms. how long to sleep well again?

Something else: I don't think what you're experiencing has anything to do with the short course of prednisone. Consider looking in other areas to find the cause. Hope this helps!
