DEPO-MEDROL  (METHYLPREDNISOLONE ACETATE):  Methylprednisolone is used to treat pain and swelling that occurs with arthritis and other joint disorders. This medication may also be used to treat various conditions such as blood disorders, severe allergic reactions, certain cancers, eye conditions, skin/intestinal/kidney/lung diseases, and immune system disorders. It decreases your immune system's response to these conditions and reduces symptoms such as swelling, pain, and allergic-type reactions. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of methylprednisolone, especially if it is to be injected near your spine (epidural). Rare but serious side effects may occur with epidural use. Methylprednisolone is a corticosteroid hormone. Methylprednisolone may also be used with other medications in hormone disorders.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Severe burning due to buldged discs First, my blood pressure shot through the roof, that lasted about a week. And on top of that i had terrible headaches and sleeplessness. In a week i slept at the most 8 hours. Now i am constipated and my pain and burning still persists. I would not recommend this drug. I don't know how it works in pill form since it was injected in my epidural space. F 59

 1  Poison Ivy I had horrible itching within the hour and was beside myself within 3 hours. It is 4 days later and I have since that day had horrible hives and itching for which I have to take another med to counter the itching and my poison ivy is no better, actually it is spreading and the hives cover me like nothing I have ever seen. They are spreading too. I cannot find enough information about this medication which I guess should not be too surprising as the FDA does not like us to know too much. The next doc I saw, mine was on vacation during the 2 visits and is still out for tomorrow's, yes, I have to go back AGAIN, cannot believe I could POSSIBLY be allergic to this fabulous medication. I guess I should be thankful I did not go into anaphylaxis or my heart just stopped beating as in other side effects listed if you look around. F 38 1 days
