Had total relief after that. | M | 58 | 6 days 4mg dospak 1X O | 8/28/2012 | 5 | Sinus Infection | Flushed red face | Had severe sinus congestion for 3wks. Noticed relief 24hrs after taking Medrol, BUT cant completely say it was only the Medrol, as I was also taking antibiotics for 4 days prior. | M | 55 | 3 days 32mg 1X day | 8/24/2012 | 1 | had discectomy done nerve pain | I took the six pills on friday by 10pm. I woke up five thirty Saturday morning with hives and itching. I did not take anymore pills and this is now Sunday almost ten pm and I am still have breakouts of blotches and itching. I hate taking medicine due to side affects, and this is exactly why. I will never take this medicine again. Worse experience ever, | F | 46 | 1 days 10mg 1X day | 8/19/2012 | 1 | Back and neck pain | Terrible terrible terrible!! Never again!!! Gives you feeling of depression and helplessness! Horrible | F | 40 | 6 days | 8/17/2012 | 1 | Post root canal pain | Worst headache of my life, insomnia, anger/rage, jumpiness, increased appetite, racing heart, diarrhea, stomach pain. | F | 34 | 2 days 4 MG | 8/7/2012 | 5 | Dislocated Knee | Fatigue Increased Appetite | F | 24 | 6 days Tapering | 7/28/2012 | 4 | Anaphylaxis | moody with moderate depression. Dry mouth. jaw clenching. insomnia. | 6 day/decreasing amounts.last dose yesterday and fighting boughts of depression. Benadryl 50 mg every 4 hours kept me in balance, day 3 w/o Benadryl made side effects stand out. I absolutelly needed it. I'm grateful for any drug that fights anaphylaxis. | F | 45 | 6 days 6 day dose 1X day | 7/11/2012 | 2 | lower back pain | Bad mood, insomnia, nausea, restlessness. Bitter taste in the mouth the whole day. Heavy head, tiredness and increased appetite. | F | 55 | 6 days dose pack 1X day | 6/25/2012 | 1 | sciatica | pounding heart, severe anxiety | I was given the Medrol Dose pack for sciatica and was told to take all the days pills at once in the morning, which I did, 24mg at once. Heart is pounding at 100 beats a minute, severe anxiety and nervousness now. I am throwing the rest of the pack in the trash. There is no way I am going to take any more of these pills, I don't care what it says about not stopping it abruptly. | F | 59 | 1 days 24mg 1X day | 6/13/2012 | 4 | Inflamed Ribs | I had zero side effects. I have been suffering from sore ribs for weeks (Costochondritis). The pain was unbelievable. I started the dosepack and by the time I took the second dose, I felt a huge difference in the pain. By day three almost completely pain free. I have one day left to take and I am really hoping that after the medication is done, the pain does not come back. | F | 39 | 6 days 1X day | 4/30/2012 | 3 | sinus infection | i am on the second day of the dose pack and the worst side effect is the rapid racing heartrate. I feel like the veins in my neck are going to explode. Also the crazy thoughts that are going through my head are driving me crazy. I have thought of all kinds of songs and just bizarre thoughts. Glad this was here to read so I can know where this is possibly coming from. | F | 42 | 6 days | 4/22/2012 | 1 | back pain | After two days my face felt like it was on fire, moody, and I just felt absolutely horrible. It was like I was completely run down with some horrible illness and I was taking it to see if it would help get rid of inflammation/pain in my back. I will never take this again. I have taken steroids in the past and always felt awesome, not the case with medrol. Glad it worked for some but just beware of the sudden mood changes especially, I think that was the worst part, because I am normally very laid back and I would get really mad or upset for no apparent reason. | F | 34 | 6 days | 3/29/2012 | 1 | neck pain, knee pain | burning bright red face. headache, pressure in my teeth and jaw. | I stopped after one day. i slept with ice packs on my face the first night. 2nd day still buning face but greatly decreased since i stopped. still have headache and slight pressure in my teeth and gums. | F | 60 | 1 days 4mgs 1X day | 3/23/2012 | 2 | Bulged disk | Had a shot followed by the six day pack felt relief from sciatica for three days but now back to same terrible pain so frustrated this did not work long. Just increased appetite from meda no bad side effects | F | 46 | 6 days | 3/19/2012 | 5 | Influenza Type A | I took this with Tamiflu and with both medications there wasn't any side effects except slight nausea. It worked well for me. | F | 36 | 6 days 4 mg | 3/18/2012 | 5 | Lupus Flare | Increases thirst, moodiness, insomia the first week. Those of you whining about the side effects and saying it shoukx be taken off the market should spend a full 24 hrs in my shoes. When you're in pain 24/7, so swollen that you can't wear shoes or pants comfortably, and can't complete menial tasks without wanting to cry out in pain, you'll do just about anything to feel somewhat normal again. Even on this I'm not at 100% ( I never will be) but now I can function somewhat normally. The side efffects tend to taper off after a week or so. If you have chronic pain and inflammation, it's like a wonder drug. | F | 30 | 10 days 8 mg | 3/17/2012 | 1 | Sinus infection and jaw pain | Three days after completed I feel like I've been run over, can barely move, nausea, diarrhea and headache. I will never take this again unless there is no other treatment. I also had severe sweats felt like I had fever but didn't. | F | 53 | 6 days 40 | 3/4/2012 | 2 | Sinus infection | I was given this drug for ongoing sinus infections. The pharmacist told me to take all of the pills for the day at once to decrease insomnia. First day just mild abdominal pain. Second day I took it I had to leave work. I had uncontrollable anxiety, shaking, dizziness, extremely agitated, racing thoughts, flushed face, abdominal pain, very groggy barely keep my extremely blood shot eyes open but mixed with racing heart and anxiety. It immediately helped my sinuses, but I'm so afraid to take it tomorrow. Maybe if I don't take them all at once. I don't know that I want to risk it! | F | 38 | 6 days | 2/22/2012 | 1 | inflammation from mono | severe abdominal pain, facial flushing, sleeplessness, excessive sweating, headaches | F | 14 | 6 days 4mg 1X day | 2/19/2012 |
