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.

Had to start tapering due to extreme exhaustion starting day 14. Was concerned that this would happen as it did when i was on Dexamethasone. Started tapering today, hoping that this side effect won't last long.since the initial dose was not too long. Gotta say I hate steroids. Now that I'm sure they are the cause of this extreme exhaustion I would have to be EXTREMELY sick to take them again. The benefits don't outweigh the costs. | F | 43 | 14 days 40 mg 1X day | 6/27/2015 |
