Prednisone is a very, very powerful drug, so good and bad side effects. It shuts down your own adrenal system at anything over 5-7 mg a day I believe it is, so a whole bunch of psychiatric side effects are possible.
Myself I was revved up, lots of energy, very out of it though and then horrible anxiety when they tried to taper me off - really painful.
So welcome to the loonie club and we can all support each other....
I am also diabetic @ bood sugars are higher than usual is this a side effect of prednisone,have 3 more days on prednisone should I stop?
Those sound like normal side effects of prednisone. Nasty drug but can save a dog's life. My golden has been taking 50mg daily for 2 months and the side effects are horrible.
I've noticed that after 3 months of daily prednisone that I have developed hair on my upper lip and jaw line. Has anyone else experienced side effects like this? I don't see how it will go away on it's own. How do you treat unwanted facial hair? This is quite upsetting to me.
Thanks!

She told me that she had taken the steroid 3 different times for life or death situations and saved her life every time but left her with this crazy side effects. She told me every time she took it, the side effects left her within 32 days exactly but for me it didn't go away for months, and I sometimes still feel weird like the side effects but my aunt said this could just be stress or my mind playing tricks but either way I don't like it.
Hi there,
Thank you for writing to us here, though I am sorry that you are struggling with side effects from the result of breast cancer medication.
I am also a breast cancer survivor, however as I am triple negative, the hormonal drugs are not effective for me so unfortunately I cant speak from experience.
However, that doesn't mean that I cant find out some interesting information for you in relation to libido and Arimidex.
Hi again. Do you mean that you fear side effects from this dose of Prednisone that you didn't get from much larger doses of the IV? Could you say why this is?
Actually, IVSM is intravenous methylprednisolone, and it's considerably stronger than just Prednisone, even at the same dosage (as I learned a few weeks ago when we had quite a discussion here about this). So you've had much more of this than you'd thought.
My husband developed squamous cell carcinoma 5 years ago. After 8 weeks of intensive radiation treatments, along with chemo, his behavior also changed. He doesn't remember things!! He also lost the use of his arms, his shoulder fell out of it's socket, he can not speak and can only eat thru a feeding tube. In the summer of 2009, after two years on home hospice, his tumors disappeared!!
Hi, as far the present symptoms are concerend, probably they are due to prednisone only. Verapamil is the drug given in prophylaxis of migraine but it can not abort the attack once it get started.
May be you need to taper the dose of prednisone as this drug is never withdrawn instantly. Do consult doctor for side effects.
t work at all now has me on Imuran and also prednisone 60 mg a day. After 3 weeks of miserable side effects and no improvement in the ulcers, I told them I couldn't see staying on the prednisone. I am weaning off now and starting to feel like I might actually survive, I had terrible mood swings, depressed, fast heart rate, bad headaches, terrible sweating and just a nervous wreck and shaky. Wondering if others had this much trouble with this dose...
Regarding my side effects to Atenolol I have major cold in hands,feet,red cheeks,extreme fatigue,major lightheadedness, anxiety,bad balance,nausea, no appetite. I have Severe Allergic Reactions to penicillin,codeine,cortisone,prednisone,most Betas,colycrys, most antibiotics havinh anaphylactic issues. Now after 7yrs & tried Metoprolol,cardivedolol,propanolol, verapimil & Atenolol I'm having bad body reactions.
I took a one time dose of 40 mg of prednisone along with albuterol this past weekend due to being in an asthma attack, and Iam still experiencing side effects from the prednisone. How long does a one time dose of prednisone stay in your system, and how long can the side effects last?
