This medication was prescribed for an allergic skin reaction. While the medication cleared the reaction, it was extremely difficult to tolerate. Excessive thirst, very frequent urination, profuse sweating or "hot flashes", and sleeplessness were just a few of my side effects. I was finally able to stop taking after 5 days of a 14-day prescription since the rash went away. Even thought I have gone off the medication, I'm still feeling very sluggish.

This medication what prescribed to me for Poison Ivy. This medication is extremely potent and has a variety of side effects. I will not recommend this drug to anyone. I am having trouble concentrating, nauseous, constantly hungry. I have no taste buds and I am retaining fluid and constantly having to go to the bathroom. This is a harsh drug that should not be prescribed lightly.

My daughter was given this med because of swollen adnoids and after the first day of use her snoring has completely stopped. She did not really like the taste though.

Used for a reaccurring sinus infection, itched incessantly, felt bloated, fat, irritable, etc.

After I had lumbar back surgery I had pain in my legs 100 times worse than before the surgery. I figured it was somewhat normal considering the surgery and timing of the pain. The pain came on when the medicine gradually ran out of a small ball like ?pump thingy that put anesthetic stuff on my surgery site few days after surgery. I was put on the steroid by my surgeon for 10 days, taper down after 4mg. 3times a day for 3 days. It DID take 95% of the worst pain in my legs due to the inflammation of surgery, BUT I HATE this drug! it completely messed up my ability to taste, constant hunger, very sore tongue,irritable, I just feel there could have been some other drug used to adequately treat the inflammation/pain WITHOUT the EXTREMELY terrible side effects. This has been the worst (for side effects) drug I have EVER taken!!!Read More Read Less

Very foggy. And so tired all the time. Have lost 7 pounds in 5 days. I really don't like it. Taking because of radiation treatments.

I am being treated for endo as well with this medication, among others. Just started and feel kind of crappy.

My endo doctor is treating my Adrenal glands from not producing cortisol. I've gained 20 lbs.Uncontrolable urge for chocolate.And I don't know if this is a side effect but my Spine seems to be weakening.Anyone with this spine issue please reply.

This medication caused severe mood swings. I also experienced the inability to taste things.

gave me bad heartburn and mild hickups 3 days into use am on for short time prescibed for major swelling do to infection in gums do to a very bad absess

I have been taking this medication for two months and I have had weight gain and cravings of sweet and salty foods. I have uncontrolable urges to eat all the time. In turn, I have noticed that my skin has cleared up and is softer than before. And the "exessive leakage" I had "down there" for years is gone. Now its only there when it's supposed to be. My additional hair growth, in places you don't want it to be, has slowed and I have not had any new hair growth. I will be taking it for an additional 5 months. Will keep you posted on any changes.Read More Read Less

I feel more side effects with this medication than any I have ever taken. I am bloated, retaining water, sweating profusely with little exertion, eating all the time, craving sweets, not able to taste very well and have been extremely irritable since about the 3rd day of the 13 day regimen. Thankfully tomorrow is my last day on these meds, taken to reduce inflammation in my inner ear, evedinced by vertigo.
