I am 68 years old male. For controlling my asthma after severe attack I was taking nine days course of tapered dose of medrol. Now it seems I have developed dependency on medrol, because controlling is becoming difficult on discontinuation of medrol with nebulization, inhalers and other non-steroidal drugs. I have not noticed any side effects of medrol on me. I am now taking daily dose of medrol 2mg for the last 10 days. The doctor has recommended to take this drug in emergency only. Kindly advise me.
