My doctor prescribed 30 tabs of prednisone, 20 mg.

The script is for two tabs, 3 times daily - a five day stint. Already did one last week.

My question is, shouldn't this have been a gradual declination of dosage rather than an abrupt stoppage? This guy has proven himself to be not really very in tune lately - too busy to really stop and DOCTOR, so I'd like to know if any of you out there have been treated with Prednisone, and how. My script is due to run out in a couple of days...please hurry with your thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
