User Reviews for prednisone oral

I have gained a huge amount of weight on Prednisone. You don't have to even over eat at all. I have anxiety attacks also and mood swings.

This drug has made my pain more easy to cope with,but it has given me an unblievable appetite. I feel it has given me more energy,I don't feel the need to lie down for a nap like I did before,I will continue to use Prednisone as long as my doctor lets me.

In simple terms, this drug has pulled me out of an asthma attack on many occasions.

7mg per day has made my pain disappear! Swelling, morning stiffness are much decreased. Have stopped the 600 to 900 mg of ibuprofen altogether.

This drug has been very effective in controlling my Lupus over the years.I have dealt with the minor side effects of weight gain, moon face, decrease in sex drive but the worst side effect was I now have Avascular Necrosis (AVN) in my right wrist and both hips. The wrist is great since surgery in 1996. The hips are not good. I had a vascularized fibular graft on the left in 2001 and a rod insertion to the right in 2003. Now I am currently in recovery from a total left hip replacement. The right will need to be done some years down the road. The little issue of AVN that the doctors never told me at the start as made my life hell.Read More Read Less

60 mg per day (3 doses of 20 mg) to help w/treatment of Takayasu. Sleep is hard to come by. Dizzy spells, hot flashes and "moon face".

Since starting 40mg of predisone I was nervous at first, like I had taken a hit of speed..now its mellowed out some....can't sleep well, break out in sweats. But my symptoms have improved. Not sure if the side effects are worth it though.

Prednisone causes my face to flush. And have a bad headache. Can feel my heart beating as I lay in bed. the flushing has happened before when I had a shot for shoulder. This time took pill. Sweating and headache happened. should I ever take this again? the Dr. had me not take the rest of prescription,I had only taken ONE pill.

This medicine makes me sweat constantly, increased hunger, swelling, and mood swings.

I used Prednisone for a bad case of poison ivy. This medication rid my face of the poison and left me with the worst acne of my life!! I thought I was having a nightmare about high school!! YIKES!

extreame dizzyness, mood swings, hot flashes in my face, difficulty focusing eyes, sleeplessness, weight gain, round face, pressure behind eyes, headaches

Although I fear the side effects and have only been on this medication for 4 months, the burning in my hands has stopped and I have no pain whatsoever. I'm only taking 5 mg but believe I have gained weight (have no scale but skirt is tight) and that really upsets me. My doctor said my body might get used to the medication and I could lose any weight gain. Hope this is true.

my bad case of poison ivy was controlled in a day and gone in 3 days. what a relief!

I have been very satisfied with how I am doing and feeling. I was at a point I was waking up stiff and feeling constant pain. I am almost a new person
