I have taken prednisone before (not for clusters) and felt terrible when I came off. Does your doc. have you on a taper.

I would go from one a day to 1/2 for four or five days then 1/4 for a week and I still felt like crap for a couple weeks after I stopped. I even had to go back and get more and extend the taper even longer. You might talk to your doc. or pharmacist for appropriate taper dosages.
