| 5 | please see website on steroids such as prednisone www.sidefxdrugs.com | | 2/4/2007 | 5 | chondromalacia patellae | drymouth, anxiety, and nervouseness. | I was misdiagnosed with osgood slatters disease, and was prescribed 14 prednisone 20mg for 7 days. This medication really worked despite my misdiagnosis. The only complaints I have are the side effects and feeling of being on amphetamines. | 23 | 7 days | 6/20/2002 | 5 | Colitis Crohn's disease | First week bloating headaches crampy legs but week two no side effect lovely appetite loads energy felt positive stomach felt great after months pain.It working wonders for me!! | 43 | 3 days 40 | 9/28/2013 | 4 | | 2/9/2003 | 4 | | 7/15/2006 | 4 | arthritis | many side effects, but this medication works so well, sometimes you have to take it. | I take it by injection in joint and tendons....hate it, but it works. | 1 days | 10/13/2004 | 3 | Pnemo6 | Severe insomnia, some times no sleep for over 48 hrs. Very manic, happy all the time. Nevousness, anxiety, heart palpatations. Constant desire to eat. Weight gain and "moon face". | I was in the hospital 9 day's for pneumonia in both lungs. I believe it saved my life. Although the side effects are crazy, I've never felt so good. I'm unusually happy with an abundance of energy. Started on 60mg's followed by a 5mg's decrease every 5 days. Today I'm at 45mg's. Still feeling the same. Today was the first day I missed my dose by 5 hours and started to feel very weak, shaky with the sweats and a very hot flushed feeling in my face. Do not take this medication late! | 49 | 3 months 60mg's | 7/1/2015 | 3 | | 3/31/2009 | 2 | laryngitis | insomnia tense | 81 | 15 days | 12/10/2003 | 1 | ear congestion/infection | acute and SEVERE panic attacks, anxiety, rapid irregular heart rate put me into a drug induced psychosis have been off work now for 3 months due to the adverse drug reacion | It may do wonders for people who need to to give them a quality to life, but to people like me who just had inflammation due to an ear infection it has run havoc on my body and mind.I would only recommend it for serious illness. | 37 | 4 days | 10/26/2004 | 1 | | 5/2/2004 | 1 | Chrones | Joint Pain | If you have joint pain with this drug, please get it checked. I was told it was Osteo Arthritis (sp) but it is actually Avascular Nucrosis (AVN) which is deterioration of the joints. If you have chrones, please try Puranithol, It works wonders!! | | 2/23/2004 | 1 | sinus infection | 130 heart rate, 190/120 blood pressure, almost complete loss of ability to walk on day 3, insomnia, general insanity. I was sure I was about to die. Oh, and my eyes turned blood red and jaundiced. Liver damage? If not for some valium and metoprolol I had I would have ended up in the ER. | I had a sinus problem for about 8 months now. It seems to have cleared up, at least the day afterwards, but even if the sinus issue never comes back I will never, ever, EVER take this poison again. It was like a really bad acid trip, combined with getting beaten with a baseball bat. I'd rather live with the post nasal drip. ONLY TAKE IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. | 39 | 3 days 40 1X day | 2/8/2012 | 1 | 1X day | 6/3/2012 | 1 | Doctor said | It raised the levels of hormones in my body. Now my skin is always ice cold and yet at the same time I sweat profusely. The doctor said corticosteroids can affect thyroid functioning and I just have to live with this now. Also experienced the other typical side effects most others write about...acne, weight gain, depression, etc. | When prescribed this drug must be used with EXTREME caution. | | 2/23/2009 | 1 | Crohn's | Suicidal depression, suicide attempts...Make sure you know about all that this drug can to do to you before taking it, because you cannot stop taking it abruptly. Good doctors (doctors who do their job) will tell you what to expect and what to do when side effects occur and what your treatment options are. It's the law that your doctor tell you this, because it is so critically important. If your doctor can't be bothered to do his or her job, find another doctor. Under the supervision of an incompetent doctor this drug could easily end up destroying your life. | This is what the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation says about prednisone: "The undesirable side effects of corticosteroids are dependent on both dose and duration of treatment. For many, the side effects of steroids outweigh their anti-inflammatory benefits...Because of these side effects, doctors frequently choose safer medications, such as the 5-ASA drugs and antibiotics, as initial therapy. But there are a number of ways to reduce the risk of developing side effects." http://www.ccfa.org/info/treatment/corticosteroids | | 3/2/2009 | 1 | Systemic lupus | Cystic acne, weight gain, hair loss, depression, tremors, elevated blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, anxiety, insomnia, moon face, buffalo hump, extreme fatigue, dry skin, dry eyes, mood swings, rage, euphoria. | | 4/22/2009 | 1 | Lupus | Hallucinations - the scariest thing I've ever experienced. I was very depressed and thought about killing myself for no reason at all. | | 5/11/2009 | 1 | UC | Nervous breakdown, cystic acne and acne scars, 80lb weight gain, dried out eyes | | 6/30/2009 | 1 | Asthma | DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG - Was put on for asthma - could breath great but on the second day of taking had severe anxiety attacks, depression, pain in my bones, crying fits for no reason, shakiness, insomnia, and many more - stopped taking after 2 days and now on day three of being off it still feel horrible and experiencing all symptoms. I really hope this goes away as this is no way to live - generally happy person now down and feeling like crap. STAY AWAY FROM THIS DRUG IF YOU CAN. | 48 | 2 days 35 1X day | 9/5/2015 |
PREDNISONE (PREDNISONE): Prednisone is used to treat conditions such as arthritis, blood disorders, breathing problems, severe allergies, skin diseases, cancer, eye problems, and immune system disorders. Prednisone belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids. It decreases your immune system's response to various diseases to reduce symptoms such as swelling and allergic-type reactions.
