Entocort tapering- numbness and twitch?

[Lanz]

Hi all, I have been on entocort for a year. The first 6 months at 9 mg, the last at 6 mg. I just started tapering to 3 mg four days ago. I've been having right eye twitching since then. I am now having pressure on my left cheek and some numbness next to my nose and under eye on cheek. Do you think this could be related? Also taking omezaprole 40mg daily and librax prn.

Wow that seems like a long time on Entocort.

Your symptoms seem unrelated. Have you ever heard of Bell's Palsy? Sound similar to that.

I thought it was a long time as well, but when I tried to taper before, symptoms came back. I have heard of Bell's palsy. It felt like I describe above yesterday, but now it's gone. Strange...
