| 1 | Severe Angioedema of the tongue | Sweating, moon face, indigestion, fluid retention, heart racing, breathing difficulties, stomach pain, weakness, fatigue, trouble sleeping, increased anxiety. | Don't take this drug unless you absolutely have no choice. It's like swallowing death everytime you take a pill. | F | 48 | 3 weeks 40mg 1X day | 8/21/2020 | 1 | TMJ | made my chest burn like crazy, can't sleep. Sweating in my sleep no matter how much A.C is blast on me. | Very very angry move swings. I took one pill of 20mg at 12:45pm and haven't took any more and still feel the side affects the next day at 2:45. I recommend no babies or toddlers around you while on this drug, cause they will make you worse and possibly make you hurt them without you thinking of your wrong, this drug is the devil himself at work. | M | 31 | 1 days 20mg 1X day | 8/10/2020 | 4 | Allergic reaction | I had a awful reaction to Nystatin. Hives from head to toes, swollen face, lips... The er gave me a prescription of Prednisone and it helped a lot! There is a lot of side effects tho. My blood sugar was way to high, shaking, moon face, anxiety... But it really was a life saver for my situation. | F | 32 | 7 days 50 mg 1X day | 7/22/2020 | 1 | Sinitis | Heart palpitations,crying, rapid heartbeat, just a horrible feeling | Horrible | F | 46 | 0 days 20 mg 3X day | 7/3/2020 | 1 | Asthma | I had the worse anxiety ever with it I couldnt breathe after taking prednisones it was the worse experience ever. I went to ER even there the oxygen didnt help me. I still dont feel 100% fine but I'm getting there | I wouldnt recommend this pill | F | 40 | 6 days 10 to 15 t | 6/27/2020 | 4 | Mast Cell Disease | Moon face, osteopenia, flushing, sweating, irritability, increased appetite. Fatigue, muscle and joint pain, dizziness, headache, and one flare during withdrawal. | Very effective but it has a lot of side effects. It helped me to start eating more normally, stopped my weight loss and reduced the itching, hives, and allergy-like reactions considerably until other medications had time to start working. | F | 34 | 9 months 10mg 1X day | 1/9/2020 | 1 | Inflammation in ears | I took Prednisone from Tuesday October 8, 2019 to Monday October 14, 2019. I was taking 20 mg per day. After my prescribed duration, I experienced withdrawal symptoms such as fatigue, irregular heartbeat feeling (pounding and rapid), trouble sleeping, dry mouth and eyes, indigestion feeling, gastritis (gnawling feeling), rage (rushing to cook food and eat), increased appetite, hyperness, mood swings, severe anxiety and depression. It is currently December, I am still experiencing symptoms such as dry mouth, puffy eyes, indigestion feeling but have slow bowel movements, gastritis, rapid heartbeat, trouble sleeping, depression and anxiety. I recently started experiencing upper abdominal discomfort feeling in chest and back. Hopefully, this is just gas. If I had a do over, I regret taking this medication. This drug disrupts my excitement of life in many ways. I pray that others and I feel better soon. I researched online that Predisone withdrawal can last from several weeks to 12 months. This period depends on how long you was taking the drug and the dosage. Prayer helps me. | M | 22 | 7 days 20 MG | 12/5/2019 | 1 | Sinus infection | Weakness, shortness of breath, heartburn, vomiting, thirst, no appetite. | My father went into cardiac arrest taking this medicine and did not make it. I would not recommend this medicine to anyone. Always ask questions to your doctor and if you don’t feel well call for a visit or go to urgent care immediately, don’t wait. | M | 52 | 5 days 20 MG | 11/7/2019 | 1 | hip surgery/post-op | Very ill feeling. No appetite, nausea, insomnia, lightheaded, hot/cold issues, heart palpitations, anxiety. | Don't take this medicine. I have never felt so ill in my life. It took about 5 weeks to get back to closely feeling like my own self. I lost 8 pounds, had to force myself to eat small amounts. I know prednisone works wonders for some people, but there seem to be a fair number who react like I did, and I took a low dose. Never again! | F | 62 | 16 days 5 mg 1X day | 10/22/2019 | 1 | Kidney disorder | My husband was prescribed prednisone for a kidney disorder to try to reduce the swelling in his kidneys. He took this for 6 months and the side effects we unreal! He was sick couldn't sleep, ended up with brittle bones which lead to broken ribs he got bronchitis like symptoms terrible mood swings and lost his ability to taste anything. | M | 48 | 6 days 60 mg | 10/19/2019 | 1 | Kidney disorder | My husband was prescribed prednisone for a kidney disorder to try to reduce the swelling in his kidneys. He took this for 6 months and the side effects we unreal! He was sick couldn't sleep, ended up with brittle bones which lead to broken ribs he got bronchitis like symptoms terrible mood swings and lost his ability to taste anything. | M | 48 | 6 days 60 mg | 10/19/2019 | 5 | Gout, inflammatory arthritis | no sides | Prednisone takes away the extreme pain of my gout in my big toes and wrist.So It is the only drug that works . I've been taking uloric gout medication daily for 8 years, but I still get the occasional flare up. That's when I take prednisone for 3 days. The pain is 80% gone after the first of 3 daily doses. | M | 51 | 5 days 20mg 1X day | 9/26/2019 | 2 | Allergic reaction | I went to the ER in the middle of the night with shortness of breath for an unknown reason. I was admitted and given IV solumedrol for 36 hours before being discharged with a prescription of prednisone, 20 mg twice a day for 4 days. No taper. Several hours after beginning the prednisone, I started swelling up (face, chin, abdomen, hands) and experienced extreme rage and crazy mood swings. I couldn't control my emotions. It's been 6 days since I took my last dose and I feel beyond fatigued, dizzy, blurry vision, depression, and extreme anxiety. My throat feels tight and I still have some face, neck, and upper back swelling. Psychologically, I feel lilt a different person and find no pleasure in anything. I hope this gets better soon. | I would never take this again unless there was no other alternative or it was a life threatening issue. Wicked stuff! | F | 38 | 5 days 20mg 2xD | 9/23/2019 | 3 | Ulcertive Colitis | Night sweats- Would wake up in the morning wearing a sweat soaked t shirt. Increased urination. Increased appetite | Had UC for 2 years now. Overall positive experience, likely because my side affects weren't so bad as others. I noticed the side affects more so at the higher dosages. Less as you taper down 5mg each week. Increased my appetite which I found to be a good thing after coming off a UC flare when my appetite was diminished. Helped me get into a state of remission after coming off one of my biggest UC flares where I lost 20lbs in 6 weeks. Seems like I lost some fluids with the side affects so drink plenty of water. | M | 29 | 8 weeks 40mg taper 1X day | 5/9/2019 | 1 | COPD | Death. Over and over | 58 | 0 days 10 | 3/16/2019 | 1 | Eczema | Dermatologist thought it would help clear up my Eczema was on it for 20 days 40 mg I was weaned off of it as you should be.have now been off of it for 5 days and noticed that when I get up to go for short walks I'm out of breath never been like this before taking prednisone I do have some bloating but going to the bathroom on a regular basis I just wondering if there's anyone else out there that is notice after effects of shortness of breath kind of scary as I was never like this prior. I will never ever take this medication again there are just too many negative effects | F | 67 | 20 days | 7/25/2018 | 2 | Sinus infection | MAJOR anxiety attack, insomnia (writing this review at 5:30AM and haven’t slept at all) , depressing thoughts | F | 23 | 1 days | 4/24/2018 | 2 | Crohn's Disease | Weight gain, paranoia, anxiety, extreme skin reaction leaving scars, insomnia, sweating while sleeping, inability to stop shaking | This was used to help get control of my Crohn's at diagnosis. As mine is severe, I was on it much longer than is advised. I understand doctors must weigh the benefits and the risks of medications, but being on prednisone was the worst experience I have had in my entire life. Be incredibly cautious if you take it, I would NOT recommend it unless there isn't another viable option. | F | 18 | 6 months 50 mg 1X day | 4/22/2018 | 5 | dermatitis | none | none | M | 63 | 1 days 50 1X day | 12/5/2017 | 1 | sinus infection/headaches | heart palpitations which gave me anxiety, irregular heart beat, high blood pressure to the point that had to call an Ambulance. insomnia, indigestion/ loss of appetite | Do not take it!!!!! especially people with anxiety / (could worsen the symptoms) or any heart issues in the past!!! I've never had any heart problems , since I've stopped it I've been experiencing side effects which nobody told me about ( like GP/pharmacist). My doctor when told him about the side effects did not think its possible. I'm glad to find out all the reviews on this website and to know that that's the drugs fault . I thought I'm getting sick from something else which is not possible as NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE!!! what's more after 7 days on 30mg a day my sinus infection hasn't cleared up but left me feeling worse that I was. DO THE RESEARCH BEFORE TAKING IT!!! | F | 36 | 7 days 30mg 1X day | 12/3/2017 |
