Yes, I have experience weaning off of Hydrocortisone after 1 and 1/2 years on it. I was on 12 mg a day. I didn't think it was helping me, so I weaned down by .5 mg a week, but I was being more conservative than most of the taper guides suggest.

I actually felt great weaning off of it for the entire wean down, and for the first few days being off the HC. If you don't need the HC, then you should be fine weaning off.

In my case, I really needed it, and it was helping after all. I just didn't know what it would be like off of it. After a week or two of being completely off HC, I started feeling much worse. I stuck it out for 6 months without HC, but now I'm going back on it.

But to answer your question, the wean off itself can be super easy and painless.
