The use of anti-inflammatory drugs can help relieve the joint and muscle aches that might occur when withdrawing from Prednisone. To reduce the side effects from Prednisone withdrawal doctors recommend tapering off the drug slowly.
Generally, after taking prednisone for a short while, the condition will be resolved. Your appetite will return to normal and you won't be eating everything in sight and retaining water from eating salt. If prednisone is used for long term permanent conditions, then after a while, the effects of your condition will reappear. Depends on the disease, really and also what you mean by going "back to how you were before you began taking prednisone." If you mean, "are there permanent side effects from taking prednisone?" the answer is: long term usage and frequent short term usage of steroids will affect your bones...makes them brittle, but if you are healthy you will rebuild your bone mass. If you have Addison's disease and you go off the medication, you will have a return of symptoms.
i am weaning my dog off prednisone the vet order clavamox also baytril for his ear infection
no
Yes they can but have to be weaned off of the prednisone very slowly. This should only be done under your Veterinarian's care. Why is the dog on prednisone in the first place? Some serious diseases & cancers require the dog be on the pred for a long time. This is why this should all be done under your Vet's care.
This will depend greatly on why your dog was started on prednisone. If the prednisone was for a temporary condition, like getting an itchy skin under control, your dog should be weaned off the prednisone within a couple months at most. However, prednisone is also prescribed to treat Cushings disease, which is a permanent condition that requires medication for the rest of the dog's life.
When giving Prednisone to your dog they have to slowly be taken off of the medication. Do not abruptly stop giving this medication to your pet as it will have serious side effects.

If you have been prescribed Prednisone you will need to see the doctor to know if and when you can be off the medication. When it was prescribed to you, it was for a certain amount of time to accomplish its goal.
Yes! hot flashes, sweating, and clamminess are a VERY common side effect of prednisone. I have ulcerative colitis and have been on and off it many years myself and this happens all the time. The lower the dosage you go, however, this should start to alleviate.
