I have been on Prednisone for over ONE YEAR... I was at 20mg for 10 months and began to taper after starting Remicade. We paused at 10mg to let Remicade take effect and now taper is at 1.25mg. I will be completely off in 1-2 weeks.
I wonder if I am experiencing steroid withdrawal or adrenal insufficiency? I am experiencing tachycardia, palpitations, joint/muscle pain, fatigue, and severe anxiety/panic attacks that all started below 10mg taper. Recently started experiencing a return of what appears to be Crohn's symptoms with diarrhea and nausea. All of this is limiting what I can do, not able to do much away from home.
Anyone have experience with steroid taper after longer-term steroids? Any idea how long until this improves?
Thanks.
