| 1 | Scleritis | Weight gain (30+ lb in 6 weeks), constant hunger, mood swings, 'roid rage', moon face, buffalo hump, swelling in fingers and feet, hot flashes, frequent urination, insomnia, dizziness, headaches, blurry vision, rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, memory loss | Any doctor that prescribes this without going over side effects or monitoring while patient is taking Prednisone should lose their license. I was handed s prescription and sent on my way. | F | 44 | 6 months 60 1X day | 10/15/2022 | 1 | Help stop vertigo | Anxiety, extremely agitated, mood swings, rage, weird pains in eyes, face, and head. Irritable, easily annoyed by everyone and everything, heart racing, mood swings. | Do not take this pill unless you don't have another option. I was only on it 2 days. Yes two days!! And all these side effects happen. The heart racing was bad, super anger over nothing. Everything just set me off. The mood swings where awful. Never again. | F | 31 | 2 days 20 1X day | 5/21/2022 | 1 | Bronchitis | Rx was the kind you take 6 first day then 5 then 4 etc. After second day taking it I experienced itching in legs and arms. Third day (I stopped that day) extreme weakness all over body, difficulty staying awake, blurry vision, dizziness, heaviness in legs and extreme cold feet (as if I was wearing buckets of ice instead of shoes) After the fourth day and for the next week-week & half my feet continued to feel cold but this time the sole of my feet would turn bluish gray then red & white/yellow, similar to Raynod's syndrome. It started going away little by little and it would come on and off for the next two weeks. Dr agree it was a reaction to the prednisolone. Will never take it again! | F | 56 | 3 days 6X day | 5/9/2022 | 1 | Neurosarcoid | Blurriness buzzing in head fatigue anxiety depression | I had been on prednisolone (UK) for 10 MTHS off now 9 weeks and still have buzzing and hissing in head will this ever go away eventually can someone let me know going out of my mind worrying about it | F | 62 | 10 months 30mg -1mg 1X day | 4/27/2022 | 1 | Covid infection | I got bilateral Avascular Necrosis on both femoral head. Fractures and then collapses. | my name is Bryan, I live in Alexandria Virginia. I was prescribed prednisone for three months last year as I had back pain from a previous back surgery and then I contracted covid and I was given more prednisone. Two and half months ago I started having pain in my left groin, my doctored thought maybe torn tendon and or labrum tear. After weeks and months of rest I was no better. After X-rays and a final MRI last week, I was informed that I have bilateral AVNs, the head on femoral hip bones have fractured and crumbled. They call this AVN or avascular necrosis, meaning my bone has died. Next week I am having my left hip replaced and then four weeks after my right hip replaced. I am only 40yrs old. The prednisone side effect states possible bone density issues, does not state that the bone dies, that the blood vessels die and then leads to hip replacements. | M | 40 | 0 months 30 3X day | 4/20/2022 | 1 | Photosensitivity | Pounding heart, horrible insomnia, swollen, painful joints, jittery and anxious, unable to eat...horrible drug | F | 73 | 4 days 4mg 4X day | 3/28/2022 | 1 | Swollen lymph nodes | Shakey insomnia jittery wobbley legs very dizzy problems focusing fatigue and feel unwell | Am tapering off them down to 5mg but feel awful wish i had never taken them | F | 70 | 12 months 20mgs 1X day | 2/23/2022 | 1 | Rash | Depression, mood swings, extreme anxiety, onset of panic attacks, shortness of breath, dry mouth, frequent thirst, nausea, dizziness, high blood pressure, racing heart, muscle spasms, cramping, pressure in head and ears, extreme fatigue, confusion, brain fog, sensitivity to light, easily overstimulated, headaches, having to eat smaller meals and drink tons of water throughout day even 2 mos later. Pleasure of life has dissipated. Would strongly suggest this drug be banned as it is dangerous. | My dosage was: 10mg, 6 pills for 2 days, 10mg 5 pills for 2 days, etc until I reached 10 days both times. | F | 40 | 20 days 10mgvary 6X day | 10/9/2021 | 1 | Temporal ateritis | After taking 5 pills, I became extremely anxious, horrible sweating, wet hair, neck itching and broke out in hives.

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.
