A member asked:

Day 13 of prednisone, on 20 now, then 3 days of 10, then stop. total will be 16 days. today i got the moon face and am puffy. is this a sign something's wrong? will my body be ok stopping after 16 days, tapering from 20 to 10 to none?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes. Onset of “moon facies” is a bit more rapid than usual but, hey, everyone is an individual - different folks react differently to all meds. Expected reaction. Ultimate issue is the condition for which prednisone was prescribed in the first place.
