A member asked:
Will i show withdrawal symptoms if i took 60mg of prednisone for one day and abruptly stopped?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
24 hrs. of a steroid not only has no real effect, but no adrenal influence on cessation, BUT, do NOT stop on your own, as a physician had a reason to start this and you should comply with your physician's guidelines. At the least, communicate and discuss options.
