I stopped taking 10 mg of prednisone for asthma cold turkey after being on it a year. Its been 10 days since my last dose. I have a slight rash on my arms when my cat sleeps in my arms at night. No asthma or other major side effects. I'm not very hungry and not very motivated, but otherwise fine. I read about everyone freaking out about quitting cold turkey but if I've made it 10 days not much of a problem. I would imagine the worst will be over in about 2 more weeks. Does anyone know if I'm home free or when does it start to get bad?
