Is 60 mg of prednisone for an 18 year old who is 100 pounds a lot?

Yes, you are on high dose of prednisone. You should hear the rationale from the provider who prescribed you the medication.

Your post does not give background information that would help. The dose when needed in some important settings is 2 mg/kg/day would be 90 mg. Short=term use of significant amounts is often needed in some settings. When you post on this site, please provide enough detail about the health issue for an answer tailored to the specific situation.
