what are prednisone withdrawal symptoms

You are having a hard time I hope you will feel better soon, When you get to see the Doc ask him if any of them are reacting with the other Meds and the Prednisone, best to cut them back slowly as you can have nasty withdrawal symptoms,you do need to ask the Doc who prescribed them and tell him all your concerns,as you have done here in your Post, before you do anything,speak to him on Monday.

at what dosage dose and length of time does prednisone cause brain damage and memory problems, thinking problems? thanks!

Has anyone used prednisone to lessen methadone or other opiate withdrawal symptoms?

I have chronic osteoarthritis through my whole body including my spine, plus other bone abnormalities. I have had chronic pain since I was 12 (18 yrs ago). Doctors have never taken my pain seriously until recently when I was properly diagnosed. I am now on Endep, Lyrica and Gabapentin which together helps with all my nerve pain. But even strong pain killers didn't help with my joint and back inflammation.

I was wondering what kind of things happen when you are going through a withdrawal from pain killers such as lortab? can withdrawals be dangerous?

About a week into taking the prednisone, I developed a very hot and burning face and neck. I have been off the prednisone for 2 days but am still experiencing the symptoms. My face turns a little red-- I look a little flushed. My skin feels hot to the touch on my face and has a burning hot sensation. Is this from the steroids? If so, when will it pass? How long does prednisone stay in your system? I also have a racing heart and feel a little anxious.

Do you have any other autoimmune conditions? The symptoms you mention are not listed among those for prednisone withdrawal but are concerning. I think you should contact your doctor and discuss this development.

If you are on it for an extended period of time it can cause some withdrawal symptoms just like any other steroid. My wife was on it for over a month and she had no side effects when she stopped taking it. Take it for a week to treat the pneumonia. You'll be fine.

I was talking with my husband about prednisone. He has taken it off and on throughout his life for various joint inflammation. He has never had trouble coming off of it whether he was tapered off or not. I have had trouble each and every time I have been on it (for asthma related issues mostly). I always thought I was having "withdrawal" symptoms- horribly aching joints, pain, anxiety, sweats, something that sounds a lot like opiate withdrawal if you ask me.

Hi all- I am a 32 year old male who has recently been experiencing some MS symptoms: shakiness, vision issues, muscle spasming, weakness/tingling/numbness in left arm from shoulder down). I was put on a 12 day prednisone regimen and have been off of the drug for 6 days. While on the pred, I experienced insomnia, and slightly increased blood pressure, but my heart rate was around 60 and didn't change.

I would see a different doctor soon or, at least get a second opinion. Not knowing what dose you were on and just assuming you were started on prednisolone either Iv or pill form in the hospital until the time it was discontinued without taper, I would put my worry out of my misery by seeing another doctor. Especially, since you described "horrible withdrawal symptoms" (again, not knowing what they are) besides the anxiety you are experiencing, which is also concerning.

It is for the above reasons I strongly suggest you contact your vet, explain that you have started using the prednisolone you had left over from last year and ask about a new part-prescription, so you can taper off properly and slowly. The amount of tablets you have left are insufficient for safe withdrawal, so you will need a few more from the vet.

Hello, I had an allergic reaction to an unknown substance two weeks ago, and was given a taper regime of Prednisone, after my visit to the ER. The first 5 days I took 60mg, the next 5 I took 40mg, and the last 5 days 20 mg. Tomorrow is my last day/pill. This is my first time taking Prednisone and I have had a TERRIBLE experience on this drug!

Can I stop taking the prednisone after one dose of 2 20mg pills or will I suffer sever withdrawal and potentially hazardous reactions? Is it safe to just stop taking prednisone after a single 40mg dose?

Please call your doctor if you are not feeling better today and ask for a prednisone taper. You didn't get an oral steroid taper medication after the infusions this time did you? I am in the hospital right now, rehab unit actually, contintuing to recover from the fact that my neuro doesn't believe in giving steroid tapers. He quoted case studies and medical literature that says its not necessary to give tapers after infusions.

You are definitely NOT having withdrawal symptoms. You may be having your original anxiety. I take Celexa and klonopin. The reason I went back on the klonopin this time was because of that shaky feeling. Almost like inner trembles. Of course the shaky feeling would trigger the anxiety and so on. The Celexa kept the panic attacks under control for the most part. It was the transient shakes that got me. I do have to admit the shakiness always passed after awhile.

Whoever answers the phone, tell them you are having worsening symptoms of prednisone withdrawal. DO NOT LET THEM SAY THEY WILL CALL YOU BACK. Hopefully the rheumy will say to take more of your remaining pred tablets right away. If you have 1mg tablets, she might say to take two of them. Or else GO STRAIGHT TO THE ER. Have somebody else drive you. You might even pass out. Do not fool around with this. Do not try to tough it out. If you get worse you might even need IV steroids.

Low platelet count may present with petecchiae or bleeding tendencies. There are some cases that there are no symptoms observed. Talk to your doctor about this first and discuss your treatment plan and the reason behind why platelet transfusion is not being considered. Your medical history and symptoms are essential factors in your treatment. Take care and do keep us posted.

Some people are able to continue with their lives as before. Maybe feel a little tired or have flu like symptoms. I think it is mostly fear of the unknown. You can handle it. You can handle a lot more then you realize now. Putting up with an abusive relationship is way more harmful then any hep c treatment. Plus you have other illness that you are managing also. Give yourself credit for all you do for yourself. It's a lot.
