| 5 | seasonal cough-allergy bronchitis | feel very Agitated, on edge, sleepiness | each year I get seasonal cough/allergy bronchitis that will not go away with just over the counter medication. My Doctor usually gives me the Methylpresnisolone tablet. While I am agitated taking these I can say within 2 days of a 6 day treatment I feel so much better and the cough has stopped. | F | 46 | 6 days 4mg 1X O | 2/16/2012 | 1 | Bronchitis/Laryngitis/Sinusitis | DO NOT EVER TAKE THIS DRUG. Causes severe, uncontrollable anxiety | F | 17 | 4 days 4 mg | 2/7/2012 | 5 | Severe sciatic pain in right leg & | None at all | Got relief from unbearable pain (after 5th lumbar fusion in 2 years) in leg & foot following fusion @ L4/L5 bilaterally | M | 55 | 6 days 2 mg 6X day | 1/14/2012 | 3 | Bronchitis | Facial flushing | F | 46 | 2 days Pak | 12/31/2011 | 3 | Lupus flare | Anxiety and depression when tapering, headache, picked up several viruses. | This drug worked miracles the first three days; I was really bad due to my flare, and by the morning of day 2, I could walk, I had energy, I had stopped throwing up, I felt great. However, all the benefits wore off by day 5. Everything from my flare was back, and I felt extremely emotional and out of control. Overall, it helped... But only short term, so I say it is NOT worth it. | F | 27 | 6 days 4MG 6X day | 12/29/2011 | 4 | Tarsal tunnel in left foot | The first thing I noticed was a good headache. The next thing was insomnia. Didnt sleep much last night. Kind of keeps you "up" and wound up but I can handle it. Glad I only have to take this for 7 days. Missing my sleep. | Have had significant relief of inflammation due to a condition called Tarsal Tunnel in the right inner ankle. Very painful to walk on feet. Have noticed great improvement with being able to walk better on my feet since starting this medicine. | F | 52 | 7 days 4X day | 12/23/2011 | 3 | sinus infection | Insomnia, flushing of face, increase sweating | F | 42 | 2 days dose pack | 12/21/2011 | 2 | Bronchitis | Migraines, sleeplessness, dizzy, shaking, blurred vision | F | 31 | 6 days 4 per pill | 12/8/2011 | 5 | Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis Flare | Brief bouts of my face getting bright red and feeling flushed, some increased appetite, but nothing that made me want to stop taking it. | I am only in my early 40's, and this was the WORST RA flare I have ever had. Within a couple of days on a medrol pack, I was feeling human again and by the end, I was functioning better than I did before the flare. Life saver! | F | 42 | 6 days 4MG 4X day | 12/5/2011 | 4 | Severe bronchitis | Hunger, racing thoughts, sleeplessness. | F | 35 | 6 days 4 mg 1X O | 11/24/2011 | 4 | Fluid behind ear drum | Headache, insomina, thristy, yeast infection afterward | I had to take this because I had fluid behind my ear drum resulting in a clogged ear. I can't believe they suggest you take this at bedtime. The first time I did that I was up all night. The following days I took 1/2 pills at breakfast and 1/2 pills at lunch. I was still jittery, very awake all day, but could sleep at night. The first day I got a horrible headache! Also, it made me hungry and very thristy the entire dosepack. Noticed I had a yeast infection after taking. It did clear my ear problem, but did not like the side effects. | F | 30 | 6 days dosepack 1X day | 10/24/2011 | 3 | Low Back Pain | A bit dizzy immediately following the dose, some abdominal pain, nothing serious. | This is my final day of the dosepak. I didn't have relief from my severe back pain until today. I am hoping it lasts. I am more interested in finding the root cause of the pain and fixing it than covering up the symptoms. So, although I tolerated this medication well, I am hoping to more find a permanent solution and not having to take meds at all. | F | 52 | 6 days Dose Pak 1X day | 10/9/2011 | 1 | allergic to dye given before mra | excruciating headache and nausea | would not take this drug again for any reason | F | 62 | 2 days 32 mg 1X day | 9/17/2011 | 4 | wheezing, acute onset bronchitis | aching in my legs, red hot cheeks, feeling warm in my face, dry mouth | This is the 4th time i have taken this medication. I have taken it for my back problems and pain, and this time for wheezing and bronchitis. This is the first time that i had side effects. I am a nurse and alot of my patients swear by this drug. Many people feel significant improvement in their quality of life that it is worth the short term side effects. i feel for those that have a worse experience. We react different and each time you take it can be a different reaction then the last | F | 39 | 6 days 4mg/ 21"s 1X day | 9/8/2011 | 5 | Sinusitis and bronchitis | a little increased appetite -- feel better with food in my tummy -- more energy which is good | I love this medicine. I have to take it about twice a year for chronic bronchitis- allergy bronchitis and cough which can last up to three months unless I take this steroid. It is the ONLY thing that will get rid of the bronchitis and cough. | F | 48 | 3 days 3X day | 7/28/2011 | 3 | Severe knee pain from torn miniscus | no immediate side effects were noticed | I have taken Medrol on four occasions over the past 18 months 1) for shingles of the eye, 2)lumbar arthritis, 3) chest congestion, 4) torn miniscus. Each time the relief was impressive and came with the first three days - amazing, However EVERY time I have taken Medrol, I have came down with a bad cold about the 7th day after beginning the treatments, and each time this ended up progressing to severe bronchitis. This last time I took it (three weeks ago) concluded it for me - as amazing as the pain relief is, I cannot take coming down with bronchitis everytime I take it. Next time I will ask the Dr. to come up with another solution | M | 55 | 6 days medpac 6X day | 7/18/2011 | 1 | For an allergic reaction | I am taking the MethyLPREDNLsolone Tablets USP by SANDOZ Can't sleep, mind racing, hot flashes, burning feeling through my body, not hungry, weepy, nervous....I just finished day 4 | This medicine is dangerous....Something strange....I have taken the Medrol Dose Pk over the years without one bad symptom....but this MethyLPREDNLsolone has terrible side effects....I can hardly function with it and I have three more days...and fear tomorrow....each day the side effects have gotten worse for me. They keep changing....exp nausia too... It helps to take at least one dose with a bottle of boost and I am taking an antiacid tabs every 12 hours too. I have never trusted generic and after this experience I know that I never will. I want off but the doc says have to taper off or serious side effects. I think this product has too many side effects and potential for serious injury - was perscribed this at ER just two days after umbelical hernia surgery. I would never want to take this again and would never want a loved one to have to take it ever. It takes too much out of you ....it is going to be a real challenge to complete the next three days. Perhaps it will improve....and I will be trying to focus on keeping it together. | F | 69 | 4 days 4mg 4X day | 7/13/2011 | 5 | Bronchitis | flushing of face and arms, profuse sweating, dry mouth, gave me energy though, love it!!! It's my miracle drug! | F | 29 | 6 days 30mg 1X day | 6/8/2011 | 5 | Nech Pain, herniated disc, | some hot flashes, insomnia | I have taken this for 2 years. It works wonders for me. You can only take it every 3 mpnths (in most cases). I have heard it is bad for your bones. I love it, I also take the injections into the trigger points when I am in severe pain. They work for me better, but the Dr doesn't like to give them to me very often. What few side effects I have are well worth the relief I get! | F | 41 | 6 days 4 mg 6X day | 6/8/2011 | 4 | Sinus Infection | The worst night sweats I've ever had. Starting the 2nd night I began to soak my bed at night. for the past 4 nights I've had to change clothes twice a night the sweating was so bad. I had NO fever. Aside from that some minor overall strange feeling at times. | M | 43 | 6 days 4mg 1X day | 4/23/2011 |
