Hey guys, do you think it would be bad to just stop the prednisone. I only took it for 2 days, one pill a day that was 10 mg. Only 2 pills in 2 days. Do you think it would be bad to just stop? I really don't want to take it and my doctor didn't make it mandatory.

Cut the pills in half and take 5mg for a few days to play it safe.

yes, you can stop it....short term bursts are fine to stop.

When I took 10mg for one week last year for allergies, my doc had me stop without tapering at all. I would check with your doctor, though!
