Prednisone - how long till adrenals bounce back?

Posted by jono_in_adelaide on July 19, 2013, at 6:14:12

I know this isn't a psychopharmacology question, but there are some smart people here.

I recently took a course of prednisolone for asthma, 60mg on day 1, 40mg a day for 2 days, 20mg a day for 2 days, then 10mg per day for 4 days.

How long are my adrenals likely to be under par after this, I had assumed that after such a short course, they would bounce back within a week or two, but maybe not? (I'm currently using a budesonide inhaler for prevention of asthma, and an albuterol inhaler for acute attacks. I'm 42 and never had it in my life until 3 weeks ago, no idea where it came from
