I have been taking prednisone 10mg tabs to help with a posion ivy rash I started on June 3 with 6 tabs and every other day cutting down by one tab so (days1&2=6,day3&4=5,days6&7=4,Days8&9=3). But for the last two days I stopped taking them because i didn t feel well now i don t know if i should finish them (2 for two days, and 1 for two days ) do i break them in halves and taper down that way. or don t take any more at all

Hi,
You should continue the tapered dose as you are having withdrawal symptoms. You can take 2, for 2 days, and then 1 for 2 days.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
