A member asked:

I had 30mg prednisolone for 5 days + 3x300mg mesalamine last month. i've woken up all night every day since i came off the pred. why could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Withdrawal medicine: Using Prednisone for 5 days in a large dose when withdrawn can result in symptoms of withdrawal hence if u wait these symptoms should go away.
