I have tapered down from 40 mg to 5 mg Prednisone. The last 4 weeks I have been supplementing with Progestene to help the process. I want to get off of this as soon as possible but the doctor says 4 weeks at 5 mg. I am tempted to try cold turkey at this point. I have autoimmune hepatitis. After I get off the Prednisone the doctor and I have decided to stop the Meds and try on my own to keep the liver from flaring. I am excited to try. I have been following Peat diet for 3 months since being diagnosed. Any suggestions on what other amino acids/supplements I can use and at what dosage. Haidut gave me some suggestions such as glycine, taurine, coffee, aspirin but I didn't know how they would interact with Prednisone. Once you get on it you have to taper off. At least that's what everything I've read says. The Prednisone raises your cortisol about 3 times higher than the dose you're taking and it also takes over for the adrenals.
