How long does the side effects of omnacortil take to diminish .. like puffy face and weight gain .. afte the stopping of the steroid ?

Depends...: It depends on how much you were taking and for how long a period of time. Your doc will slowly try to lower the dose of steroid that you take hopefully to nothing over a period of time(this might take months). Then for the next year if your body is seriously stressed medically you may need to go back on steroids for a while. Talk to your doctor about this.
