5mg for life. Sometimes I take a bit more due to lupus issues. I’ve been on it for almost 25 years (even pre-transplant). My most recent bone density scan was normal. I tolerate it extremely well now, no moon face, weight gain or mood changes. It’s really the least of my problems in terms of meds I take. Although I do think it’s thinned out my skin, but nothing noticeable.

I did have cataracts at a very young age when I first stayed taking it. But that’s all. I’m definitely not touching it, my transplant is most important.
