It depends on how long you were on prednisone, and what the dosing was. Prednisone shuts down the action of the adrenal glands, and doctors prescribe a taper to give the adrenals a chance to "wake up" again and start fuctioning. Suddenly stopping can put you in adrenal crisis - a very serious complication which can cause death. Alternate-day therapy is preferred over daily, as it helps keep the side effects to a minimum and also helps prevent adrenal failure.

Also, with some conditions, stopping prednisone can cause a rebound effect - the original symptoms come back worse than ever, and higher doses of pred will be needed to get them under control again.
