| 1 | Tooth inflammation from root canal | After the first dose of 8mg on day one I felt fine. After the second dose of 8mg on day one I started having rapid heartbeats (140+ at worst), anxiety, chest pain, numbness in extremities and in face, blurred vision with tingles behind my eyes, shakiness and dizziness. I was also prescribed Vicodin to help with the pain and had taken 2 5-300mg but instead of being "knocked out" like normal I was wide awake and "racing". It was one of the worst feelings of my life and lasted 4+ hours before tapering off. I will NEVER take again! | F | 29 | 1 days 4mg taper | 7/21/2014 | 1 | Implantation IVF support | After 2 days of being on Medrol I started feeling dizzy. By day 4, I had chest pains, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, dizziness, nausea at night after finishing the medication (felt like I was going to vomit), and major insomnia. I had to stop taking the medication early. | This drug made me feel terrible. | F | 35 | 7 days 4mg 4X day | 7/6/2014 | 1 | Herniated disc in neck | Heart racing, chest pain, insomnia, headaches, anxiety attacks, bursts of energy then fatigue.

No significant change in my blood pressure yet. I have to take it for more 4 days while tapering it down . | F | 47 | 2 days 36 mg | 6/18/2014 | 1 | Chronic pain in joints | Headaches, insomnia, irritability. day after I tapered off started feeling high anxiety and scared myself into thinking I was kind of losing it. Called the doc (not the one who prescribed) and he said I could take my xanax to try to lower the anxiety. It helped me a little and helped me sleep thank goodness. Still feeling tired today but hoping I start to feel better. This is such a double edged sword indeed - my pain which is usually a scale of 8-10 was gone and I had a spring in my step for a few days before I crashed. Cannot take this ever again. | 58 | 6 days 1X day | 6/3/2014 | 1 | Foot pain / reduce inflammation | Extreme mood swings, all day I go from severe depression to anger to feeling anxious. Anxiety medication barely helps. I will never take this medication again, and would not recommend it to anyone. I am on day 3 and I feel like I am losing my mind.

I've also had stomach issues but that's nothing compared to the emotional side effects. | F | 24 | 6 days 21mg | 5/31/2014 | 1 | adrenal insufficiency | Extreme anxiety, insomnia, racing heart, high BP, deep reddening of skin, joint and muscle pain, neuropathy, severe negative mental. changes, depression, fatigue, stomach and esophageal pain.effects so bad I can't tell if its helping my condition.

Heart pounding and tinnitus. I wouldnt recommend this to medicine to anyone. Whatever is wroeng with you! Say no if your prescribed this. | M | 24 | 6 days 4mg | 3/22/2014 | 4 | allerggic reaction to something | I was fine the first day, second day I was dizzy, third day which is today I felt extremely light headed, very irritable. I actually called the pharmacy to see if I could take a clonidine to help the side effects. It really helped a lot! Only a couple more days of this and hopefully I won't need it anymore. | F | 32 | 6 days 4 mg | 3/19/2014 | 1 | Acute Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia | Extreme anxiety, stomach bloating, increased heart rate, chest tightness, ears buzzing, panic attacks, paranoia, insomnia, restlessness, like something goes missing in your head | Horrifying experience, feels like I'm losing my mind, can't keep track of what is in my head. Caused me to have some severe panic attacks the first week, thought I was on the edge of just losing it, for ever mentally crippled. Unfortunately have to keep taking it until it's all over since my condition can be serious plus I'm afraid of sudden withdrawal side effects which might make me even worse than now (Cushing's). It's just a double edged sword... Dosage dropped in time and night pills taken off the schedule so I can enjoy some "sleep" and will continue to drop until treatment is over. Blood tests are looking fantastic thank god and doctor says I will be fine and hopefully will not have to take them ever again in my entire life, don't know how to deal with ITP if the condition is still there after the treatment is over. Struggling with ability to think, keeping calm, reminding myself I 'm gonna feel normal after it's done and should not worry. Note: This drug really messes with your sense of self, it's just an agonizing race towards infinity. DO NOT TAKE if you have any personality/psychological disorders or have any personality complexes, ALWAYS go for the alternative | M | 19 | 4 weeks 64-4 1X day | 3/19/2014 | 3 | Post-surgery nasal inflammation | Anxiety, insomnia, headache, irritability | F | 30 | 4 days | 3/17/2014 | 5 | Tooth pain | There was one day that I had a lot of energy, but I wouldn't say it was a bad thing | I worked very well for the time I was on it, but as soon as I discontinued it the pain came back. | F | 50 | 6 days 5 mg 3X day | 2/25/2014 |
