Tapering and tiredness

[BigRedd]

As I taper away my pred (and have started azathioprine) I've noticed that I'm knocked off my ass tired for 70% of my day. By tired I really mean totally Burned out. All I wanna do is sit and stare at a wall all day, my brain is just shut off! Is this just temporary as I taper away the pred?

(Started on 40mg and am now down to 5mg)

I get that way too as I taper, especially around 10 and 5 mg and then also for a while when I'm done the taper. One thing that has helped me is getting an adrenal support supplement from the health food store that may help aid your body in producing it's own cortisol again. There are also yoga poses you can do the stimulate the adrenal glands.
