When you take steroid medications, your body senses that there’s enough cortisol-like hormone in your system and reduces its own production. If steroids are stopped abruptly, your body might not be ready to produce cortisol immediately, leading to a condition called adrenal insufficiency.So tapering and waking up your HPA axis (let it produce hormones itself) is very important.Consult for further advice
