Hey there! After several months or maybe even a year of being on 5mg, depending on how slow you have been tapering, most doctors would have you attempt to go off the prednisone entirely, as it comes with long-term side effects and is not designed to be used long-term. I encourage you to seek a second opinion or MG specialist if your doctor refuses to let you go off it despite you voicing your wishes. Some people do experience a worsening of symptoms when they go off it, but most, if the taper is slow, have no issues.
