Prednisone
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

So I was on 50 mg for 5 days and then my doctor wanted to see what I like on a lighter dose as a taper for a couple weeks. I never felt better. I wasn't coughing up stuff and I was less breathless. Now it's two days after my last tapper dose and I'm back to coughing up stuff and even after taking symbicort, I'm still breathless and used my Ventolin. Is this normal?
