Hi Snowwhite,

What dose are you on?
How long have you been taking this dose for?
What symptoms is it prescribed for?

In principle it is a bad idea to stop steroids suddenly and the worst case senario is that it can be fatal.
If you are on a lowish dose to control mild symptoms, hopefully you'll be fine and may just experience a worsening of symptoms.

My advice is NEVER to do this intentionally, and if it happens accidentally (we are all human), to take your normal dose ASAP.

If you feel unwell, make contact with your doctor.
