| 4 | Bronchitis | Calf pain, irritability, mood swings, insomnia/sleepiness, increased sense of smell, hallucinations, feeling out of it. Heart palpatations. | Was taking a Z-pack at the same time. Took 3 20s the first day then 2 20s the remaining days. The insomnia was the most worrying because though I do have problems sleeping, I never stay up all night. But it happened the first night with the leg pain and the other symptoms. After that, each day it got better. I started taking the pills before lunch then my nights were much better. The increased smelling was weird too and bothering at times. My diet helped and I slipped yesterday and had a salty main course for dinner and had some leg swelling into bedtime. Just remember to take them as early as possible at the start of your day and eat and drink as cleanly as possible. Not too much salt or sweets. All will be well. | F | 48 | 5 days 20 MG 2X day | 2/24/2016 | 3 | Ulcerative colitis | Weight gain ( Nearly 2 stone heavier) moon face, mood swings, depression, easily agitated, grown facial and body hair | It helped my ulcerative colitis a lot so in a way I love it, however I wouldn't recommend taking it unless completely necessary- not nice side effects | F | 18 | 4 months 40mg | 2/23/2016 | 5 | Accute Bronchitis/Asthma | Mood swings, insomnia, increased hunger, weight gain, ARTHRITIS PAIN GONE, I CAN BREATHE | Yes there are negative side effects, but I have had to take this drug many times over the last several years. It is a miracle in a bottle. I thought I was going to suffocate to death. After the injection in the ER, 12 hours later I got relief, even if it was just a little. Then the oral stayed the next day. Unrelated to my lung issue I have osteoarthritis in both knees. It stops the pain immediately. I love those passion free days. | F | 48 | 2 weeks 25 | 2/15/2016 | 1 | Pain in my arms I am 80yrs old | Agitation | I will not take this med again .did not help the pain . | F | 80 | 10 days 10 mg | 2/15/2016 | 5 | Asthma | I didn't experience any side effects. It really helped my asthma. I was originally given a 5 day script in the emergency. About 2 months later my pharmacist got me a 7 day script for my asthma. I didn't feel any withdrawl symptoms both times. | What I want to know is how long do I need to wait between 7 day doses, to not experience withdrawl? | F | 40 | 7 days 50mg | 2/4/2016 | 2 | Upper Respiratory Infection | Red spots on face(cheeks), insomnia, racing heart | I hated this drug and I wouldn't recommend this drug to anyone unless they really needed this. I would have never taken this drug if I knew I would be left with red spots on my face even after being off of it for 3 months. The heart palpitations were very severe for me as well, especially at night. | F | 16 | 10 days 1X day | 1/21/2016 | 4 | chronic migraine | I didn't notice any particular side effects worth mentioning. | I noticed an immediate break in my migraine cycle within a day or two. I've noticed as the dose decreases the migraines are slowly returning. | F | 41 | 2 weeks 60mg taper | 1/20/2016 | 3 | Uveitis | MOON FACE, WEIGHT GAIN..10 LBS FAST. MOOD SWINGS.. HIGH ENERGY, TROUBLE SLEEPING, FEEL DROWSY | PRED HAS HELPED MY ISSUES BUT I THINK IT WOULD HAVE CLEARED UP NATURALLY IN 2 . THIS IS WHY, MY COUSIN 1 YEAR YONGER DSME ISSUE AT THE SAME TIME, HIS DOC CHOSE NO PRED YO LET TIME DONTHE WORK.. HIS RESOLVED AT THE SAME PACE... THIS MEDICINE IS A BIG BUSINESS ... TO SAVE A LIFE PERSCRIBE PRED.. IF NOT THE SIDE EFFECTS ARE SCARY.. I HAVE A BABY.. GREATFUL IM STRONG MENTALLY | F | 36 | 2 months 60-20 | 1/6/2016 | 2 | Autoimmune Hepatitis | Abdominal bloating, SEVERE back pain, hand and leg tremors, insomnia, excessive hunger, rapid weight gain, mood swings, moon face, puffy eyes, dark circle under eyes, sluggishness, rectal pain/bleeding, stomach cramps and gas, tinnitus, rapid HR, depression, | The first few days on this drug I felt better than I had in years. My diagnosis of AIH was new, so I'd been feeling horrible for a long time. The symptoms began after my first taper in which the dose was lowered from 40mg/day to 30mg/day. Called Dr and he said to go to 35mg for a couple of days and then taper from there. I've been tapering 5mg at a time per week because of the taper side effects. So far it's not helped make things better. In fact, the lower back pain is so bad that I can't stand up straight or walk but a few steps before having to bend over to hold onto something while waiting for the pain to pass. I couldn't afford to gain weight, but I can't afford to allow my liver to be damaged by this AI disease. IMHO, this is not a drug to be used for simple inflammation issues, because there is a huge price to pay for using this medication. I took the risk knowing 'most' of the side effects, but many people aren't told about what can happen. If your doctor prescribes this medication for you for something simple, please do yourself a favor and ask if there's an alternative. While I am grateful that I am helping my liver so I don't develop cirrhosis... I wouldn't wish this misery on anyone. | F | 54 | 3 weeks 40mg taper 1X day | 1/6/2016 | 1 | Infection | Depression, loss of appetite, felt very tired. | I was put on prednisone for an ear infection, it has effected my mental state. I feel so confused and depressed. I feel as if i am bipolar, happy one minute, then sad the next. I would not recommend this prescription to anyone, because of these side effects. | F | 17 | 4 days 20 MG 1X day | 1/3/2016 | 5 | Rheumatsm in my fingers | No side effect feel better taking 12pcs prednison in 6 days prescribed health care sarah winslow | Its effective.can i continue taking prednison if my pseudo gout in my fingers return?

Pain gone. No real side effects. Short term use. | F | 46 | 4 days 40-30-20-1 | 12/1/2015 | 3 | Asthma & sinus infection | Loss of bladder control and not able to sleep. | F | 62 | 1 weeks 40 | 11/24/2015 | 1 | Lupus | Weight gain, moon face, anxiety attacks, depression, increased appetite, hair loss, stretch marks, bloating, nausea, vomitting, insomnia, increased facial hair growth, muscle cramps | This drug is worse than the lupus. It looks like I'm pregnant, I'm 14 and I have a mustache. I can't fit into my pants anymore. I have to go everywhere in pajamas or sweat pants. I have a double chin. People look at me like... Like I'm just another spoiled fat kid, because they don't know it's a medication. And I'm still on it. The doctor is refusing to let me taper off. I am really depressed right now and at the moment I am seriously considering suicide, crazy as that may sound. I would rather die than continue taking prednisone. | F | 14 | 6 months 60 MG | 11/24/2015 | 1 | Nasal polyps | Adrenal failure osteopenia | Hi guys... I was placed on a dose of 25 mg prednisone for 2 weeks including taper. The reason I was placed on it was because of nasal polyps I ended up feeling great and breathing 100% I made the misfortunate decision to remain on the drug for 9 months as I could not breathe properly for 7 years... Well I didn't know exactly that the drug I was taking was rapidly destroying my body and mind... When I finally came clean with the dr and told him what I did, I was told I would be fine in 4-6 weeks. I didn't taper properly and now a just over a year later I'm still doing it tough!!! I had adrenal failure no testosterone left in my body and I'm constantly in pain I have been to 4 Drs since and they all say the same thing. I'm constantly worried about my mortality as I've suffered so much and it doesn't seem to end. I have a mild case of osteopenia and I'm constantly getting these horrible pains in my body muscle tears and like I said pain pain pain!!! I was wondering your thoughts on my story and if you would have any advice on what to do. Will I ever get any better??? As its been and still is a long hard road. I have been for every test in the book and I keep getting told biologically there's nothing wrong with me!!! It's very frustrating going through life like this and it not only effects me but also my wife and 15 y.o son.
