Avatar n tn Not sure whether it's ulcerative colitis or other form, but my question is - I was presecribed a foam steriod which is "squirted" up the back passage for my colitis. This is my 3rd day on that treatment. My pain and bleeding are still as bad as ever - I'm in agony. How long should I give the treatment to start having an effect before I tell my doctor its not working?

Avatar f tn t help with my joint and back inflammation. I had heard about people having success with Prednisone but I had never really considered it for myself because I'm still young and had heard of all the horrible side effects. My pain had been causing me to become deeply depressed. Doctors were treating me like a drug addict whenever I went to ask for a prescription. I was getting to the point of being completely crippled and being a carer to my disabled son, crippled was not an option.
9704730 tn?1405741284 I am finishing my 3rd day clean from 15 years of being chained to tramadol. This is the hardest thing I have ever done. How long does this pain from withdrawal last? ?? I am scared of figuring out how to live and function without this drug. I have been on it so long I don't remember how I was without it.

Avatar f tn Do not mess with benzo withdrawal on your own...you can have serious withdrawal issues like seizures and worse. I agree not without a doctor supervising would I do this. Be careful really. Usually they taper you off that stuff real real slow.
Avatar f tn m still getting the cold sweats and not sleeping and just all around miserable. The question is How long does it take to get past this? My doctor told me I have an extra sensitivity to these pain killers cause most people require a lot more than I was taking to become addicted. I'm 56, going through menopause. I'm supposed to be having hot flashes not cold sweats lol Even now my hands are clammy and I am cold. I could sure use an encouraging word.

Avatar n tn It is 3 weeks since I took thelast prednisolone tablet, I am angry I was not advised to taper down the dosage and I am wondering how long I will be going through this awful period of withdrawal. Shaking all the time and unable to work...my Doctor only advised going on zanax...anyone else going through the same...I need some encouragement. Thanks!
Avatar f tn I never even knew I would have withdrawal, although I may be being really naive. Anyway...how long do these symptoms last? The worst is restless leg, but the runny nose and severe pain in my back and elsewhere is pretty bad, too. I feel like I can't stand it another minute.
Avatar n tn I have been on the prednisone for a little over a month, and just switched a couple of days ago, so how long will the withdrawl symptoms last?? if it turns out I feel a lot better on the prednisone, can I eventually switch back?
Avatar n tn You WILL feel normal and healthy again! Its a long process but well worth it. Its an especially long process for post suboxone, but if you give yourself time, and wait it out, its the most incredible feeling. Just be strong. Good luck and God bless to you both.
Avatar n tn i recently started taking ultram after seeing my doctor and asking for a non-narcotic pain reliever. i have had serious problems with norco and lortab in the past. i recently started going to aa and have quit drinking and smoking, so naturally even though i have serious back pain i wanted OFF THE DRUGS. well, i switched from norco to ultram and when i ran out, i have started withdrawal REALLY bad. this is worse than i have ever experienced with the previous "narcotic" drugs.
446896 tn?1237802742 The length of time this takes depends on the amount of prednisone taken, and how long it was used. After large doses of this medicine for a long time, it may take up to one year to adjust.
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 Prednisone is a bad medicine and can cause lots of bad side effects. You are on a relatively low dose. 1 month at 10 mg should not cause any major problems. You shouldn't have any issues with withdrawal when you go off that dose suddenly. I know people who are 5 mg every day for life. I do question the effectiveness of this dosage though. I think you would benefit fro an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) more than oral pred for long term use. Take care and feel better.
