This drug should be banned! Worst experience of my life and I wish I never took it.

Is it my allergies were much stronger than my dosage? | M | 29 | 4 days 5mg 3/day | 6/27/2014 | 3 | bronchits | Hunger, insomnia, mild mood swings. For 5 days on this drug. After I stopped this drug. For next 3 days I had no appetite, sleepy, and was feeling mild depression. All side effects were gone after 3 days off of this drug. And I was feeling great. | I had bronchitis before a few years ago. And took antibiotics for it. For me antibiotics knocked the bronchits out faster. But long term side effects of antibiotics are not good. Predisone did help me get over bronchits symptoms. And I have no long term side effects. So all in all Predisone does work I just did not like the short term side effects. | M | 33 | 5 days 20 2X day | 6/22/2014 | 4 | allergic reaction | insomnia, heartburn | Had an allergic reaction to an unknown substance (mold or dust most likely), which resulted in huge, itchy welts all over my face and body. Benedryl did absolutely nothing, but prednisone really helped stop the inflammation. Insomnia was the worst side effect: I only slept 3-4 hours/night the entire time I was on this med. Glad I didn't need it for more than a week. | F | 42 | 7 days 40MG taper 1X day | 6/16/2014 | 5 | shrinking nasal polyps | all side effects were beneficial-tinnitus gone,memory improved, alertness,abilility to think clearly,appetite and tasting better | I know this drug can have bad side effects but in my case[78 yrs old-not a good candidate for nasal polyp surg.My breathing is fine But after the drug wears off in 2-3 wks my tinnitus is back memory not as good as when on I asked my ENT if he would give me a rx for a small dose[1 10mg every other day but he declined citing poss side effects I'm reminded of the time when Pfizer took the drug that became Viagra of the market the test subjects did.nt want to give back the pills-they had found the side effect that the drug is now famous for | M | 78 | 12 days 10 mg 1X day | 5/24/2014 | 5 | asthma | Was better within 48 hrs but ran out before taperin the dose felt very ill and pain from hips and down legs unbearable I forgot it wasearly closing at surgery have had slight aches before as I reduced dose but nothing like this and panicks feelin heart is stopping | F | 62 | 7 days 40mg | 5/7/2014 | 4 | polymyalgia rheumatica | The main side effect at this point is thinning skin . The need for cataract surgery was accelerated. It's an effective drug but I have been trying to find a way to get off of it. I have been down to 5 mg. But had to increase due to spasms/pain in the back of my head and neck. It seems like this drug is the best choice for PMR. Would like to hear from others with this diagnosis. | F | 70 | 2 years 7 | 4/23/2014 | 1 | Wegeners granulomatosis | Besides all the other horrible side effects, over a period of one and a half years I was admitted to emergency by ambulance approximately 60 times. What was happening was that any unpredictable day I would feel severe fatigue and throughout the day progressively became more and more aggressive. By the evening, I would start preparing my evening meal and would have a beer while waiting to eat. Suddenly my appetite would disappear. This I noticed was a warning sign. After a number of previous admissions, I would take a sleeping pill and intend sleeping through it. I would then wake up and find myself in A&E on a drip and totally confused. The doctors would blame me for drinking and popping sleepers. Not once did they try to figure out what was really happening. After stopping the meds the hospital visits stopped. After some research I found it was physcosis caused by predisolone. The doctors still think it was me!!!!!! | A very dangerous drug. My description of my experience was a very short version. Many more problems were experienced. The most horrific experience in my life. | M | 60 | 20mg 1X day | 4/16/2014 | 3 | Allergy | Prednisone really helped get rid of sores I was getting all over my body for a not-yet-tested allergy I have. I have an IgE of 134. Now that I'm off prednisone I always feel depressed, my eyes hurt, my body hurts, and the sores are coming back. Why is that happening? Does that mean my allergy is resistant to prednisone? If that's the case, howcome the meds worked when I was on them? Maybe two weeks wasn't enough of a course. | F | 20 | 2 weeks Just 2 tabs a day (D | 4/14/2014 | 1 | crohns colitis | Uncontrollable hugely Increased appetite, weight gain, moon-face, buffalo hump, bloated stretched stomach, breathless, insomnia, burning stomach, aching joints, crying for nothing, confidence destroyed, lethargic, bed wetting, shaking hands, inability to do slightest work i.e. hoover up or put washing out without feeling I was going to have a heart attack through breathlessness. Heavy feelings in arms and legs. Starting to taper off and now on 25mg and symptoms of cc all coming back. As your body is forced to stop producing adrenalin then expected to start reproducing once dosage of pred dropped this is a dangerous drug and I don't know where the benefits have come into it? Felt fantastic for first 2 weeks but now going backwards. I feel like I am buried alive, witnessing my body being taken over by this drug. I just want to get off it and stay off it.
