I took the max of Pred for 5 years and another 2 to get off of it. If I were told I had to take it again, I'd have to think long and hard about it. Some days I felt like I was in another world. Why people take drugs they don't have to is a mystery to me. Hopefully you can get off that 'good' stuff very soon.
