Avatar m tn On the way out I talked to a lady there and I told her I was bipoler and was on prednisone for joint pain. She told me that prednisone can bring on a psychotic phase in normal people and with a pre-existing condition it can be really ugly. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?
1265027 tn?1284839951 I went to a neurologist March 30 and finally a doctor who confirmed that prednisone causes all these symptoms! Prednisone itself doesnt stay in your system long. But the side effects and temporary damage can last for weeks to a few months. But should go away. As for the Klopinin, I would only use it if I only needed it! They gave me xanax and vallium and still have them. Those meds are very addictive. And if taken too much, once you try to stop, you may get horrible withdrawl side effects.
1580703 tn?1651904887 at what dosage dose and length of time does prednisone cause brain damage and memory problems, thinking problems? thanks!
1580703 tn?1651904887 First, I will assume that all other asthma medication has failed and that is why you and your doctor have had to resort to prednisone, 10 mg/day. If that is not the case, then attempts to control your asthma with (first) medium-high doses of an inhaled steroid. Persons exhibit varying degrees of sensitivity to oral doses of prednisone, so that is very possible, maybe even likely, that you will experience the side effects you have listed below.
1580703 tn?1651904887 I'm really curious does anyone else have this problem where they can't exhale? I start wheezing and feel resistance. and I'm exhausted and foggy all day long. is that COPD or something?
446896 tn?1237802742 You might just need something to help you with the prednisone and fuoxetine transition. Try to eat a healthy diet and perhaps not a good idea to take any herbal preparation until you are better. I used to take chamomile tea to relax and every time i took it I couldn't breathe, like I had a mini asthma attack. Later on I found out I was indeed allergic to chamomile tea. I think it is still a good idea to go and get that allergy test done.
1580703 tn?1651904887 Dear Doctor, I have asthma and mixed sleep apnea and I've been crippled by the central apnea/osa, leg twitching/PLMD. It was so bad I couldn't remember or read a sentence or work. I started taking klonopin and I could sleep better but I'm still exhausted and foggy even on cpap and wheeze on exhale after I got the flu. I tried exercising, theophylline, prednisone, dulera, singulair, zyfil and saw 15 doctors. Is there a cure or medicine for my sleep breathing disorder?
Avatar f tn I was also placed on Ativan for four months, with the Klonopin.... And I have been withdrawing off of it for 5 months, and it is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life..... Not trying to scare you, but be prepared it is not FUN!!! But u can do it, just stay strong... Just wean off very SLOWLY!!!!!!!!!!! If you wean off slow enough, you will have limited withdrawals....
Avatar n tn 5ml, klonopin (sleep disturbances, sleep walking, talking, etc.) We DC those meds and went to Depakote 125mg 2 pills BID and added prednisone. He was diagnosed with complicated migraines, and recently developed symtoms (ceiling falling in, walls coming in, floor shrinking) Neuro did in a joke manner said Alice in wonderland syndrome.
Avatar m tn It is related to both asthma and sleep apnea. Prednisone should help with asthma symptoms and GERD can give you the exact same symptoms (I'm proof of that - wheezing, lowered peak flows, positive lung function tests, coughing). The best test for this is 24 pH monitoring or impedance testing - it measures the reflux over a 24 hour period to diagnose.
Avatar m tn Ive been suffering from nerve pain in between my shoulders and in my left shoulder for around 3 weeks, I take Klonopin and Xanax for anxiety and panic attacks but I just got my klonopin filled again yesterday and when I took it I took around 3 mg of it and within a half an hour my pain was totally gone! Its been hurting so bad that it was almost unbearable! I couldnt believe that it was able to stop my Pain!
Avatar m tn So the first four days I averaged about 7 tabs of the Hydrocdoone as needed for pain, but came back after I was out, and complained about the agitation and insomnia that the Prednisone causes. So after five days, I was told to stop the Prednisone, continue with the remaining Carisoprodol, but given a higher strength of 30 more Hydrocodone 7.5 - 500 with the same take as needed schedule I was given for the lower strength Hydrocodone.
1580703 tn?1651904887 I still can't exhale well and have resistance even on symbicort and prednisone, comibvent inhaler. is low oxygen eventually going to kill some of my brain cells? will pangraf or xolair (my IGE 165) help me breathe? my O2 is down to 86-88 during the day.
563594 tn?1309583132 Prednisone is a steroid. You start and end by taking it in increasing and then decreasing doses. It works very well for inflammation but what most doctors often fail to tell patients is that steroids also negatively impact the immune system --- It is not uncommon for someone on these drugs to get a variety of things like the flu, colds, pneumonia, and a host of other diseases because their immune system is not working right.
Avatar m tn 8-19-13 I went on 1mg of Klonopin twice a day because I was having panic attacks for about a week. After a couple days, I felt better but it started making me irritable so the Dr. cut be back to .5mgs twice a day. About a month later I started having pain in my big toe then into my ankle. I got x-rays and was diagnosed with degenerative arthritis in my big toe joint and on 9-18-13 I started taking Meloxicam (Mobic).

1302779 tn?1287405029 Klonopin lasts longer and with it being prescribed 2 times a day, it will control your anxiety all day and night. I take the 1mg Klonopin in the morning and two at night. I am also on Lexapro, and this combination has worked very well for me. I hope this helped and take care!
Avatar n tn I have been taking .5mg of klonopin daily for 6 months with no drinking and i was curious... would it be safe to have one beer every now and then? I am afraid of dying... but I miss having an occasional drink. I am only 21 and I don't weigh much (140lb), but I do miss having a beer every now and then to relax. I take my klonopin everyday at 2PM btw. When would be the ideal time to drink the beer if it were safe? I usually prefer one at 9-11amish or 9-11pm ish.
Avatar f tn I would definitely give the 20mg at least 4-6 weeks, and take the Klonopin as prescribed and see how you do before upping the Celexa. If you haven't been working with a psych doc then I would switch to one. I would also ask your doctor "why" he wants you to up the dosage so quickly before giving it time to work. Celaxa is an excellent drug, but what works for one, may not another.
Avatar f tn I take these two meds, why?
Avatar n tn Klonopin (clonazepam) In a class of medications like Ambien, is the drug Klonopin (clonazepam). "In sleep management, one of the best things we have found is Klonopin," states Charles W. Lapp, M.D. Klonopin can help you get to sleep fast and sleep longer and thus have less fatigue the next day. It also is a muscle relaxant that can help with restless leg syndrome and, as it is closely related to Valium, can relieve anxiety and panic attacks.
Avatar n tn I was splitting my pills in fourths and taking it thruout the day,a couple weeks ago i started taking it whole and since then i feel all druggged out and worse depressed..would this cause it..going from a fourth thruout the day to a hole one at one time?
1580703 tn?1651904887 I've been feeling nauseous a lot after my liver damage after the tracheotomy. I had to lie down even though I took bentyl, nexium and ondanestron and it didn't help. then I felt better after taking some oxygen on the ventilator. last night I slept with a low ventilator setting with diamox and klonopin so maybe that's the reason? it's so bad I can't work or study.
Avatar m tn 4 months ago I began a therapy with prednisone (25 mg per day) and one month lather I got tested for hiv 1-2, the result hopefully was negative and all my blood exams were normal (but antibodies against HBV positive, without virus). My doctors said me that hiv is not a problem for me. However i began to worry again because it was been told me that prednisone is an immunosupressant and I fear that it could hide my hiv antibodies. What do you think about? Sould I have to get another test?
Avatar f tn doesnt zoloft and klonopin kinna serve the same purpose so why do they put you on both meds
