2. Withdrawal Symptoms: Symptoms of Prednisone withdrawal include fatigue, myalgia, decreased quality of life, joint pain, depression, and anxiety, caused by a relative decrease in serum glucocorticoid concentrations.
3. Adrenal Dysfunction Tests: To determine adrenal dysfunction, two tests can be used: a short snack and test with a threshold of over 420, or an ACTH Stimulation test that checks morning cortisol levels, with a measurement of less than 5 indicating the need for Prednisone and a retest within 3-6 months.
